Title - Terminal Transit #6. Airport Code: BOS / Country: United States.
Additional information - The life of a photographer often involves extensive periods of waiting in airports, where moments of transit can become opportunities for creativity. As the hours stretch on with flights being delayed or rescheduled, photographers can find themselves immersed in the ebb and flow of bustling airport terminals. It is in these seemingly mundane spaces that the extraordinary can be discovered.

Author Alain de Botton aptly captured the essence of airports in his quote:
"If you were asked to take a Martian to visit a single place that captures all the themes running through the modern world - from our faith in technology to our destruction of nature, from our interconnectedness to our romanticizing of travel - then you would almost certainly have to head to an airport. Airports, in all their turmoil, interest, and beauty, are the imaginative centres of our civilization."
