The conceit of
Out My Window from
Gail Albert Halaban is simple - a voyeuristic peep into the surrounding buildings. A glimpse of others lives as seen through their window panes. I am, admittedly, somewhat attracted to this because my living room windows have zero shade and the neighbors often look in on us watching TV or eating popcorn. If these photos are staged, I don't want to know. I guess it could be a privacy concern if they aren't but I prefer the idea that they're natural, legitimate, glimpses. Ignorance really can be bliss.
