Airports - my second home

[Darren Bradley]

I've spent so much time in airports over the years, I've begun to regard them as almost a second home. And no matter how much I travel (over 230,000 air miles last year alone), I never really get tired of it... well, ok, sometimes I get tired of it. It's gotten a lot harder and less pleasurable since 2001. Anyway, here's a shot I took last week passing through Dulles (Washington, DC). Reminded me of Tron, but someone else said the video for Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.

Tron for me as Billie Jean was a checker board !! Love the shot

 

[Brian Moore]

It certainly looks futuristic. Great shot Darren. (Been through Dulles a few times. Never seen this area.)

 

[Paul Lange]

That looks like it could be a bit disorientating to walk on especially if you have vertigo! How did you manage that one Darren I imagine security would take you into a side room to have a few words with Mr Baton (for your own protection, of course) if they caught you taking photographs.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Wow!! Excellent shot Daz! I've never taken a shot in an airport before, do you get any raised eyebrows from today's insecure society/public?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

That floor is just nuts! Love it

 

[David M. Byrne]

Nice shot Darren, but what about John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever? Isn't THAT his dance floor? Ha. Anyway, I'm passing through Seoul Incheon & Dubai International in the coming days, two very photogenic airports... not to mention the not-so-photogenic London Gatwick, the only one of the 3, as luck would have it, that will grant me daylight shooting conditions. I'll have my wide-angle with me & I'll see what I can come up with and post here!

Thanks, guys!

Surprisingly, I never get harassed for taking pictures at Dulles, which is great because the architecture is amazing.

I see you're in Seoul now, which is a city I know well- having spent all of 2010 working there (and part of 2009). That one is by Fentress. The train terminal is the most interesting part, as I'm sure you know.
