5 A Day #2 - Store Windows

Sometimes we discover unknown themes in our work. This was pointed out to me in a class by Fine Art Photographer and friend Aline Smithson. A student, Cindy Schafer realized that she had many images of clothes lines from around the world. It was just something that she was drawn to. The way the clothes hung on the line, the colors and patterns as the sun warmed the material while the wind caressed each item gently evaporating its moisture. She created a wonderful body of work with that series. She came to me in a dream last night and we visited a bit before I was awakened. It was nice to see her again, to see her smile and hear her enthusiasm,  if just for a few moments.  I am dedicating this series to her memory.

As Cindy found clothes lines I seem to be interested in old store windows. There is something about looking into an old store window to see what is on display. Some of them closed some still open. The ones that interest me are those that remind me of a museum display. Items that look like they are from another era, have a unique juxtaposition or are just very random to make one wonder what was behind it. These are a few of the images that I have collected. They were photographed in Philadelphia, Cracow Poland, San Francisco and Vienna Austria. I have more to find in my archives and more to photograph in the future.

All images are for sale. They are printed to archival standards using 100% rag papers and archival pigment inks. Images are limited to editions of 25 for 13 x 19 and 15 for 17 x 22.
