  1. They make me think of routines because it is a bunch of plains in the same place, showing that they were all there once, possibly multiple times. Too see them all at once is eye opening to see how many of them exist at any one time. These make me want to try and show lots of similar things in a single frame.

  2. No these images don’t make think of a routine. I see cars every day but I don’t see airplanes everyday. An idea i get from this is to put a lot of the similar things together or a something that we see on an everyday bases.

  3. Do these images make you think of routines?
    – not really
    Of sheer numbers of cars and planes that we see everyday?
    – somewhat depending on where we are.
    What’s it like to see them all at once?
    – I think its pretty cool, I like planes.
    What ideas do you get for your own work?
    – nothing really in these pictures are interesting.

  4. These images make me think of routines because the airplanes are so neat and organized. It’s weird to see the planes all at once because it makes them seem smaller than they really are and it reminds me of birds flying in a big groups. This gives me the idea to make something ordinary into something different.

  5. This is very cool because you can see how many planes really come in each day, also you can also see how similar each plane lands. It is funny to see that one stray plane that doesn’t look like its landing all right.

  6. Do these images make you think of routines?
    Yes, organized ocd.
    Of sheer numbers of cars and planes that we see everyday?
    Where the location is.

    Amazing, makes me want to race one.
    What ideas do you get for your own work?
    A lot of something into one picture.

  7. theses pictures make me think of diversity
    and how everything is different how is very rare when things are the same
    theses pictures do not make me think of routines

  8. These images make me think of routines, the planes are all at the same angel. To see all the planes at once it makes you realize how many things we see everyday and dismiss. This could be done with birds in the sky or on a phone line.

  9. Do these images make you think of routines?
    – No
    Of sheer numbers of cars and planes that we see everyday?
    – Cars yes but not really planes
    What’s it like to see them all at once?
    – Funny because they’re like a bunch of birds
    What ideas do you get for your own work?
    Nothing

  10. Do these images make you think of routines? Yes.
    Of sheer numbers of cars and planes that we see everyday? We see tons of planes in the sky everyday, the photographer put together the images of other planes taking off to elaborate the amount each day.
    What’s it like to see them all at once? Looks like a pack of bees traveling in a group.
    What ideas do you get for your own work? Put together tons of people walking out of a door.

  11. its surprising because you never see that many planes at one and some ideas come to mind like the fact “more people die in car accidents then plane accidents” well not everyone has a plane, and i thought what if they did??? so these photos triggers my creativity

    This does look like an airplane routine going around the city. This is the amount of cars and planes we see everyday but not at the same time. I’m thinking of including multiple things in my photos

  13. These pictures are cool and it does remind me of a routine. How often airplanes take off from the same place in a day, or how many cars drive through the same stoplight everyday. These photos inspire me to take multiple shots of a scene and merge them together

  14. Do these images make you think of routines?
    yes they do how they take off through out the day.
    Of sheer numbers of cars and planes that we see everyday?
    What’s it like to see them all at once? What ideas do you get for your own work?

  15. yes for the routines, but not the number of the number of them we see everyday. its honestly cool to see them all at once, i haven’t seen a picture like this with airplanes. i could do that with birds or somthing

  16. Do these images make you think of routines? yes it does because of all the planes .
    Of sheer numbers of cars and planes that we see everyday? yes but not ever with this big of an amount.
    What’s it like to see them all at once? pretty cool if i say so myself.
    What ideas do you get for your own work? bring an everyday thing and have a large amount of it in the image.

  17. Do these images make you think of routines? Of sheer numbers of cars and planes that we see everyday? What’s it like to see them all at once? What ideas do you get for your own work?
    Yes. Yes we see tons of everything a day and we dont really think about it. It makes you think twice about routine and how you may not even notice. Kind of weird and creepy. I like the idea of Insanity pictures

  18. These images show routine because it is showing the planes doing the same thing in every photo, and how it’s always the same thing when they leave and return. To see them all at once is amazing, usually you are only capable to see a few at one time, making it difficult to imagine how many are really in the sky at once.
