1904 - From Lily Pond near Agriculture Bldg., N.E. to Observation Wheel (250 ft. diam.), World's Fair, St. Louis, U.S.A.

I wasn’t too happy with the girl, the angle of the lenses was too drastic for a good animation. However I know I have a lot of ferris wheel fans, and I liked the wheel and the pond, so I included it.

Checking out referring links is turning out to be a big time sink, but it’s way too entertaining.  I wasted about two hours at alltop after seeing a link from guykawasaki.  Thanks, guy!  I did a little research and learned that the first animations were actually found on cave walls.  No surprise, they were mostly comprised of scantily clad and very hairy women.
