A window is just a window! A piece of an architectural jigsaw puzzle strategically placed by the master artist to give a view of the outside world or sometimes inside too. We would have seen many of them everywhere around us, some noticed and some barely.
What if each window had a story to tell? A story of its existence or one about the views it would have seen?
This window in a historical building now occupied by a new tenant may have had the ringside view of many historical happenings.
Did you know?
Window Tax Woes: In 17th-century England, King William III imposed a controversial “window tax,” charging homeowners based on the number of windows their houses had. This led to some hilarious (and desperate) measures, like bricking up windows or even installing fake ones! The tax was eventually abolished in 1851, much to the relief of homeowners.
I amm thinking of doing an exclusive photo session with windows as a subject. What do you think? Would you like to collaborate on this? Maybe we could do kind of a global project on Windows of the World.
