Photographer’s Note
This title might be offensive to some of the viewers, but rest assured that I am not trying to put blame or suspicion on anyone.
The girl in this photo just happened to be passing by.
Ok, back to the true meaning.
This is a photo I took while returning home from a course in Oslo.
I was simply making time pass by taking a stroll outside the terminal and taking some photos.
As I was waiting for the arrival of some planes (Yes I do love planes :D ) this young lady happened to pass by me and took a smoke at the end of the sidewalk.
Coulden't resist taking a photo but I haven really considered the result until now.
As prostitution seems to grip the streets more and more (especially in Oslo) it gets a lot of negative review in the news.
The classical news interpritation of a prostitue in Norway is the "chick" hanging out by the street, so when I saw this scene I sort of thought (No offense to anyone): "What is she waiting for? Going to service a plane?"
It simply struck me...
Well you can't say, "No, no parking here, go away", the sign says you can...
Well, I think you get the idea.
Enjoy my recent revelation on life.

Hi Odd Jarle,
Controversial title. But good picture. It's full of feeling of waiting. And the sign is just right for the theme. Breaking norms of watching planes being mainly a male hobby.
I wonder if it would be better with a plane, or without, waiting over or not.

Hi Odd Jarle,
excellent and ironical title for a great pic. Image gives a deep desolation mood... for the place and for the girl's feelings.
POV and B&W choice are very good choosen. Very good seen!! :)
Best regards.

Hi Odd,
I like the idea of your picture with this sign of no-stay and this women.
The BW is great and gives gravity to your picture: a nice choice.
Regards.
