window seat, plz
I’m a window seat guy. What’s out there is like a child’s toy box full of surprises to me. I spot nerdy stuff like geography maps and city layouts, I see artsy paintings of colors, nuances and shapes. And I photograph. I know, purist photographers do not shoot through windows, not to mention a multilayer stretched acrylic window that generously and randomly enriches your photos with flares and odd hues – as you’ll find in many of the images reproduced in this book. But ask me if I care. Window seat photography is part of the whole experience, and for me a pleasurable one.
