These are some of the 1,075 photographs taken by Taryn Simon who spent 5 days last year taking pictures of cargo seized or detained from express mail and passengers entering the USA from abroad at Kennedy airport. All the photos were shot for the project “Contraband”. Some of these counterfeit and prohibited items are weird, others are just hilarious.

A Sleepbox is a neat little place where you can lie down and rest while waiting on your flight in an airport. They have everything that a passenger might need. I wonder how much they rent for and if it is by the hour or the day.
Some advertisement companies still have good sense of humor and vivid imagination to create such clever airport ads. Many of them made me smile.

What you see at this photo can be seen in Gibraltar.
The thing is that there the airport runway crosses the road.
When planes land this road is blocked with special barriers on two sides.
