Poor Mr. Ferris, or more precisely George Washington Gale Ferris (1859-1896), the inventor of that icon of summer fairs everywhere-he was born on the day the world celebrates all things romantic. To give this fellow a gentle nod, I thought I would share with you a photo I snapped at the Mattituck Strawberry Festival last Father’s Day weekend.
This was truly a snapshot-taken hand held as traffic whizzed by. No tripod-just a steady hand (and apparently that day nerves of steel). ISO 400, Shutter: 1/13; f/11.
