The Man Behind the Camera: Galynn Ferris
For decades, Galynn Ferris has hauled his camera to machinery shows, fly-ins, working farms, and living-history museums across America — capturing antique tractors, aircraft, automobiles, steam engines, and the remarkable people who keep them running.
"History is not boring. Understanding where we came from is essential to knowing who we are."
That belief drives every Tractorhead video. Galynn doesn't just film machines — he tells their stories in plain language, so the next generation grows up knowing how food, work, and American ingenuity are connected.
