So here is my photographic essay of a layover in LA:


Photo Note: I've always found the American Airlines logo familiar and comforting in a vintage kind of way - it hasn't changed and is one of the oldest in the industry.
So, what does one do at LAX?


Well, first and foremost, there's the shopping:

Postcards and LA souvenirs are abundant.


Yes, there's Arnold the Governator, a popular t-shirt item. But equally popular at airports are the book stores, and politics are the theme this October, no surprise:

Of course, there's clothing without Arnold's face all over it - and lots of other fashion retail choices, from $10 boutiques to upscale Bev Hills fashion outlets.


Apparently, feet are very important to travelers, and at LAX I found atleast 3 things you can do for your feet: Women can buy fishnets while men get their shoes polished.


Something to be said about gender marketing there. But either gender can put their feet up and enjoy a massage.

And here's the more photogenic aspect of a few generic airport necessities.





Finally, I actually found an airport Starbucks without a crowd. OK, so it was just a cup, but it was in the public payphone hall....the quietest place in the terminal. Ahhh. Now that's where to go to enjoy your coffee!

Beautiful work.
