travel photos

I've discovered that there's alot of photo opportunities while waiting for flights at the airport or sitting on long flights. That's good because I can be productive now while killing time and reducing the agony of travel.

I've always liked road movies, and documentary photos of presidents or famous musicians on the road to somewhere. If you start thinking about all the people travelling, there's quite a bit of drama there. A while back I shot shadows of travellers casted by the late afternoon sun on an airport wall. It was two dimensional and very graphic. While you couldn't see the people, there was enough information in the shadow where you could tell alot about who this was.

In a similar way, I like the first picture above because of its graphic nature where the shapes and lines are what makes the photo interesting, especially with the ascending line of people on the escalator.

I like the picture above of my cousin and her daughter taken during a flight because again, it's sort of minimalistic while it captures a moment like that famous picture of JFK's son playing underneath JFK's desk at the Oval Office.

All these photos were taken with a Panasonic Lumix digital point and shoot on auto mode. Although there are many cameras out there with superior perfomance, this one suits me well like an extension of my body.
