Getting high on the Midway

hcard, City Muse

It is only logical that in order to take the best photos of the New York State Fair’s entire midway one must be on a very high position. Logic becomes obvious as one enters the midway and notes the highest vantage point must be the Giant Ferris Wheel at the west end. Unfortunately, I am semi-acrophobic, so the prospect of riding to the top, camera in hand, to look down and snap photos is daunting, indeed.

On the other side of the issue is my desire to take shots of the really great nighttime colors at the fair.

I rationalized that since I had survived a ride on the 450-foot high London Eye, the State Fair’s significantly shorter wheel should be well within my capability...
