Windows always seem to be looking at me when I pass by. Barns, houses, office buildings, it doesn’t matter what kind of structure it is. Maybe that’s why I often take pictures of them. In most cases, of course, it’s not really a picture of the window, it’s an image of what shows through the window, or what is reflected in the window, or what frames the window.

Obviously, windows are everywhere. Since I haven’t traveled all around the world, many of my photographs (like those shown above) are from trips around the United States. But, I have been to a few other countries. And, although I don’t recall ever planning to go out with my camera looking for windows, upon my return, photographs of windows always seem to show up in my latest collection of images.

And even if you can’t see the actual windows, sometimes the sunlight they share is enough to make an impression.

I know we take windows for granted, but isn’t it amazing that they are solid objects through which we can see the world? It must be magic!
