Airport

I'm back from my trip, which means brand-spankin' new photos for you!  This was my first view of Houston as I waited outside the airport.  Turns out that all those twisting roads and tramways make for some interesting architecture.  This shot was actually kind of tough to pull off due to a constant stream of cars pouring through, many of which liked to stop and linger right in front of me.  Somewhat serendipitously I sent my mother to the wrong terminal to get me, giving me plenty of time to get the shot.  

And in color:

This is yet another example of the many ways photographers have to think about composing their shots.  Black and white or color?  Lonely people waiting around or a desolate wasteland?  Strong contrast or soft colors?  Which one do you prefer and why?

preference: the first. the lonely people, so small compared to the architecture. and the black and white makes them seem even lonelier. plus, the black and white helps my eyes pay more attention to the architecture rather than the big brown building in the middle.
