These photos were taken on my flight from Dallas to San Francisco in March. A very nice lawyer was sitting next to me. I clicked away for a while before she said, “Your job looks a lot more fun than mine!” After watching her spend the flight using her highlighter on stacks of rather uninspiring material, I had to acknowledge that she spoke the truth. (Not that I get paid to take pictures from an airplane or anything, whereas I am certain her hours on that plane were billable.)

If someone were to pay me to take pictures from a plane, I hope they would provide me with a cleaner window than what I got that day. I’d be open to extra peanuts as well, and the whole can of apple juice instead of just the cup.
