U-Man's Weird Family

My family and I stayed at the Hotel Allegro in Chicago last year.
They had a goofy little nook with white couches and b&w pillows.
U-Man - "Now for this one everybody grab a pillow and throw it up in the air right before the timer goes off."
Family - "OK!"
My family is cool.

Takeoff
Waiting for a flight to Taiwan, I wandered around the airport trying to find some interesting shots. I found a window where I got a good view of the runway, and started taking some shots of planes as they took off. It took several minutes until a big one swept by at the right point of takeoff for a picture I liked...by then there were other photographers standing around me trying to get the same.
