Like on Venus?

Ok, its time to take this to another level: English time!

Yeah I'm gonna try to write my blog in english, if there are any english readers out there ;).

So me and Marcus went to Perth International Airport today to take pictures for our Photo work class. Wow, what a trip! When we arrived at the bus terminal in Perth they said that there wasnt a bus that went to the International airport, only for the domestic one! Say What?! If we wanted to go to the international terminal we had to call a private company to take us there, and that would cost, alot!

So we got directions to go to the domestic airport. First we had to walk over to Georgetown I think its called. It's like a buisness district. To take a regualar Transperth bus. The bus took approximatley 45 minutes or more :O. So annoying!! There have to be an easier way to get to the damn airport! Anyway, we got the to domestic airport and got really dissapointed cause it was so small and barely any people there. It didn't feel like a big airport as we wanted. So we asked some people who worked there to show us the way to the international airport. They told us that it was 14 km from the domestic one :O. So we had to take a shuttle bus that cost us 5 dollars each. Not so much, but we didnt want to pay that just to go to an airport! We took the shuttle bus anyway and arrived at the int. airport.

We walked around for a while and got dissapointed again haha. There wasnt so much people there and the airport wasnt very bigger than the domestic one. But, we bought some coffe before we got started with the pictures. Then we walked around the airport for two or three hours and took photos of flight attendants ;), pilots, passengers and different airport staff. We had quite some fun actually. We got some weird looks from the security guys though. But they didnt say anything and we were really polite and asked most of the people we took pictures of.

At one time there was a guy who walked past us, just some random passenger dude, and he said something like: What are you standing around here for?! With a really bad attitude, we were just standing there and doing something with our cameras. So that was weird! Jerkface!

Around five-ish, we decided to go home. But there wasnt any buses going from the international airport, so we tried to go on a shuttle bus but we werent allowed to go on them without a airplane ticket :O we even said that we could pay the driver but he said: No, its against the law!

So we had to take a taxi, that cost us 30 dollars to transfer to the damn domestic airport! Ridiculous!

So, when we came there, i found a purple window to take some pictures through (as seen above) :D I like colored glass. Its like looking through a different reality or something! Back in Stockholm, I enjoyed going to Max (a hamburger place) cause they have a windows that is colored yellow :).

Then we went home with the tranperth bus (45+ min).

Back in Georgetown, we got of the bus and I wanted to take some pictures of the skyscrapers there, so I stood on the sidewalk and started to take some pictures. I was holding my arm over the road to get a better picture, and all of a sudden this big ass bus comes swooshing by!! It almost hit my arm (with camera) and surprised the shit out of me just when i took the picture. The bus can be seen in the picture above, its the blurry thing to the right haha.

Btw, I shot the pictures for the assignment with my analog SLR camera. But I will upload some of them to the blog aswell when I have developed them. I shot the pictures above with my digital compact cam, so it's only some random shoot-from-the-hip-photos :D
