I’ve always loved the entirely utilitarian, but accidentally beautiful, random graphic compositions that exist on airport runways and the asphalt roadways leading here and there. Lines and letters, numbers and lights, grays and whites, reds and yellows, shadows and skid marks. Isolated (and particularly in black and white) they become quite interesting, abstract typographic/graphic compositions. One day, I’d love to have free access to wander around an airport (not likely!) and take some carefully composed photos, or better yet, from a helicopter where the vantage point would allow even more interesting views of all the lines, numbers and lights.
I finally had my camera with me during a series of recent flights, and here are a few of my airport runway photographs.
amazing!

Hi Alessandro,
Thanks for your comment. yeah, I dunno if airport graphics is the right term or not (!) but seemed to fit. I suppose it actually a form of informational/directional graphics for pilots and ground crews. I’m sure every little dash or curve or double line means something. It’s an interesting sub-sub-set of info graphics… Love your shots – what a cool place. Where is is?
