Views from Our Windows: An Update
An Update: More Views From Our Windows
Andrew Sullivan has observed that he gets to read some of the smartest emails on the web, “but you don't get to know who your fellow-readers are, where they live, what they do, what they see as they look out their window each morning.” Isn’t this also true for most of us on the web? Last year, a posting that I made here, The Dawn, conveyed a similar theme.
In response to this sense of internet opaqueness and anonymity, Sullivan began an on-line project called “The Window Project.” He asked his readers to get out their digital cameras and take pictures of the views from their windows, from the living room window, bathroom window, car-window or even from an office window. One of the window pictures, a post-Katrina photograph, is especially touching for me, evoking sad memories about and feelings for New Orleans.
To view a very large number of the most striking photographs from The Windows Project, please visit the Project Update at my companion website:
