When I’m traveling, I can happily spend airport time making photos. And, also, I like to create stories about the people I see – I’m not stalker-y or anything; I just make a few quick assumptions about them and about where they’re going and why they need to be there today.

Likewise, over in the Air Canada terminal my friend and erstwhile classmate Ehpem spent his time similarly, but with very different results.
Because that’s what we do.
