Airport Zen

I was very suprised to find this abandoned terminal in SFO on my recent trip to Chicago. With the madness found on either end, these few precious moments with the long shadows of an early summer evening gave me a chance to reflect, if only for a moment.

It's Videoblogging week again!

I will be shooting very short clips from my T-mobile dash for 7 days. The sound and picture quality leaves something to be desired. Let's hope my signal is louder than the noise.
