A380: The View From JFK Terminal 1

There were a large number of children at Terminal 1, and I wish I had taken more photos of them. I caught a glimpse of this Hasidic boy listening to the reception speeches for the A380.

There was a little girl next to me while I was photographing the planes, explaining in half English/Spanish to the other children the exaggerated dimensions of the A380. I witnessed a blooming of dreams: prompted by the flying metal bird, that look in their eyes, of both fascination and imagination, that they may or may not lose when they grow up.

I hope they will never lose it.
