The Wonder Of Windows

Windows have always fascinated me so it is no surprise that they are one of my most popular subjects (see my Windows and Travel Collections). To me, a window presents the opportunity to view our world in many ways. For Example, a window can distort or reflect the outside environment and it can serve as a filter. As an artist I feel that one of the greatest benefits of a window is to frame the scene in front of us, much as we frame a scene with our camera, so we can better appreciate segments of the view without surrounding distractions.

As an engineer by education I can’t ignore the practical side of windows. Most importantly they provide a protected view of the world from any living space. My early appreciation of windows as a photographic subject was when I had an interior office at my place of employment. I placed the image that accompanies this blog (my best seller) on my office wall and experienced the virtual thrill of having a window office. And so began my photographic journey to document the beauty of windows.

I hope this provides some insight into one of my favorite photographic subjects.
