Not everyone would look at the "creamy concrete texture and circular windows" of the now-defunct LaGuardia air traffic control tower and think of Swiss cheese. Or glance at the Paris-Orly tower and be reminded of a birdie from a badminton game. Fortunately, National Air and Space Museum photographer Carolyn Russo looks at things in a different way. Since 2006 Russo has been photographing contemporary and historic air traffic control towers around the world. Her lush, compelling images have now been gathered into a new book, Art of the Airport Tower, and can be seen in an exhibition with the same title, which opens at the Museum on November 11, 2015, and runs through November 2016.
