Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Glass

When you think about glass, what is the first word that comes to your mind? Something like “fragile” or “broken”, quite likely. Maybe second on your list is “cleaning” or “washing”.

For Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge for this week – Glass – I have chosen architectural glass as my subject matter.

Many new high rise condos have been built in Toronto recently, and they typically have glazed curtain walls, so there is lots of glass everywhere you look. The following is a photo of a lone window washer – there is no shortage of dirty windows for him to clean.

One of the features of this image that I like are the contorted reflections of the surrounding buildings. Who said that windows are perfectly flat?
