World Famous Design Junkies » Photos Through Windows

When you take a seat at your local sidewalk-side business, do you think about where you’re sitting in proximity to the windows? Perhaps if you do, when the windows seem too small, this becomes a non issue. Or maybe if you do, you sit close because you like to show off what you’re wearing, or maybe it’s spring and you want to stay close to the warming of the world? This photo project/collection “Through The Glass” by Stefano Mattia asks these questions, if you ask me, especially the one “what are you looking at, buster?” To the photographer. Or to whoever’s looking.

This project consists of a collection of 12 photos spanning Rome, Beijing, Paris, London, and Padova and two full years of photography, starting in 2008, going through the present, aka when this post is posted in early 2010. It’s what Mattia calls an ongoing project, so heed and take a peek at his page if this post is rather old when you see it.

It’s just as important to frame your photos as it is to frame your photo when you’re in this internet world. Blogs fire up their engines at the site of a set of pics that’ve got a name on them. When that name isn’t just some silly sad sack of arbitrary, the best things happen! “Through The Glass” is a classy set, each of the photos taken in a way that could never realistically be exact due to their proximity in the world, yet there they are, so nicely packed, they seem as though they could have been taken through the same pane of glass.

Fa real.
