The Lobby, Vancouver, Canada, 2009

The logistics of tourism can be daunting. This image offers metaphorical proof of that statement. I don’t know whether these people are coming or going – and that is why the image hits home. There is a sense of disorientation here. Bags are everywhere. Who belongs to them? A man stands over it all and bows his head as if in meditation. A woman holds a door open – is she waiting for him to make up his mind, or is she waiting for someone else? I wanted this image to ask such questions of the viewer. Travel can be fun. It can also be very stressful.
