EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of youthful enthusiasm and devotion to the music of a bygone era at a 1950s rock and roll convention held in Cornwall during the 1980s. The group of young people, dressed in authentic 1950s costumes, exude a sense of camaraderie and excitement as they gather together to celebrate their shared passion. The men don leather jackets, jeans, and thick-soled boots, while the women don full skirts, petticoats, and red or blue dresses, accessorized with sunglasses, crutches, and tie-around hairdos. The atmosphere is electric, with the faint sound of rock and roll music playing in the background and the faint smell of beer wafting through the air. Each person in the photograph seems lost in their own world, their faces expressing a deep connection to the music and the history it represents. The convention serves as a reminder of the enduring power of music to bring people together, transcending the boundaries of time and place. This photograph, taken in 1985, is a snapshot of a moment in history, capturing the spirit of a generation of rock and roll fans who refused to let go of the past.
