Ferris Wheel Over Memphis

Caught between the crowd and the chaos — flags waving, toys hanging, and the hum of conversation all around — the Ferris wheel stood tall over Memphis.

Not a small-town fair, but it carried that same warmth: kids laughing, sunlight bouncing off the metal, color everywhere.

This frame reminds me why I love photographing people in motion — not the poses, but the pulse.
