This guy's work has an interesting backstory and raises all sorts of ethical moral first amendment issues, but what is really most unusual about it, is that it is really lovely, beautiful work.

I didn't see that coming.

The gallery describes his work as voyeuristic, but I think they are just being lazy. The thing that is fascinating about it is that it doesn't come across as voyeuristic and more then Hopper's Nighthawks at the Diner does.

Meh. Close yer damn blinds if you don't want people to see in. It's not like he was hiding in the bushes.

I like the images.

Yeah, that's what they get for being so damned "quotidian" !

But thanks to Ft3 for giving me my new word for today.

No, probably hiding in a darkened...

... rear window.

Reminds me of the Alfred Hitchcock movie with Jimmie Stewart, Rear Window. Be careful what you take pictures off...

I like those a lot. There is definite story-telling skill in every one of these shots.
