Photographer: Linda Lane, Seattle, Washington.
Getting the Shot: I was waiting for a plane to depart from Seattle International Airport after meeting with my independent study professor at the University of Washington. I remembered that I had wanted to photograph the transparent panels installed at the airport under the 1% for Public Art ordinance.
The Details: I shot several photos with an automatic night setting on my trusty Nikon (love Canons too!) while hauling my carry on-bag and gear. Shooting photos in airports is more difficult since the security lockdown. The security officers who watched me realized pretty quickly that I was shooting "art shots" but they did stand and watch me just to make sure. Not wishing to cause any problems, I finished up pretty quickly.
This particular shot I loved because of the person reading - from his side he probably could barely make out the iconic image flying over his shoulder but from my perspective it was quite beautiful and relevant to the airport situation. This is from the same series taken throughout the hour I was in the airport.
We Love: The way you can find beauty even in the otherwise harried airport experience. And we dig Seattle's 1% for Art ordinance!
