Airport Scene

photo 200
Obviously, I can take responsibility for only half of this photo. I leave it up to you to decide which half! Took this during my 5 hours layover in Rome's airport. It was like a high end shopping mall in there. Terrible. Spent too much money on some fancy perfume.

He looks like he's giving one of those motivational lectures to crowd of hundreds with his slide show projected behind him. Cool shot.

Seems like a jarring return to the 'real' world - the wait, the airport mall and those teeth that look about to chomp off this man's head. I'm sure the perfume is lovely though :)

I look at this and think of that line from CARRIE -- "They're all going to laugh at you!"

Who is the dark stranger posing so casually for you?

I missed this one ... I remember when we landed in Italy the first time ... there were guards actually walking around with machine guns. (slung over their shoulder!) I was stunned to see that ... don't know if they do that anymore, Laura. This image instantly brought back that memory. My first move was to reach out and grab my two daughters. :) I love this photo tho ... that poster and the guard (?) are such contrasts.

@karenann No, he wasn't a guard. He was some poor random guy in sneakers! And there weren't any armed guards. It was all very laid back. So much better experience. For some reason, those armed guards in Europe look much scarier than ours, don't they?

@cindyrez I've been looking for one that I can bear wearing for years! They usually make me sick. Yes, unfortunately--given the cost--I do like this perfume. Versace Yellow Diamond. Very light. Golly, this feels like such girl talk!

@melissapike @numinee Thanks for commenting. @maggiemae Never saw the guy before in my life! @cromwell Hum, I can see what you mean. A horror photo for paranoiacs! @meisen325 That's just what I thought: "I bite your head!" @beachradish This is a really cool observation. I think you are exactly right. He's talking about how newly improved teeth whitening systems can change your life!

It definitely reminds me of horror films-- that mouth, those teeth, that poor, oblivious guy!

I love this photo! Very cool. Five hours in an airport/mall sounds like my idea of hell. Honestly. But I'm glad you found your scent!

@psychographer Haven't before (well maybe when I was a lot younger) but suddenly it felt like the right thing to do. Thanks for looking. @pyrrhula @catwoman2 @mbbirds @lauriehiggins @woot Thank you all for commenting. I think this turned out to be a cool idea poorly executed, but I appreciate you comments on my new scent (you must smell!) and the effort!

I love it... even the frame!
