Awaiting a flight, yes you're waiting, but each second is potential packed. Whether it's people who should have looked in a mirror before they left the hotel, the warmth in a family or couple embracing, or the wonder of the possibilities for adventures at each terminal, the airport is an emotionally charged scene. People coming and going each aware only of their immediate purpose of successfully coming or going.
While admiring the "leary voyager", the "bussinessman", the "gabber" making a public announcement while talking at the phone, and the hopeful "model" it facinates me to watch how these characters absorb and interact with their surroundings, but mostly move about like a black hole. It's no wonder air support staff can be a little disgruntle at times- they're being treated like an actors personal assistant. (Strange how things change once the crowd boards the plane. Suddenly, the person beside you wishes to chat- which naturally I can't refuse.)
I hope we're a fun contribution to the people watching of others. Below are pics of some of our interactions with our surroundings.
