It strips people bare, takes them out of time to create a frozen time capsule that will endure, unchanging, for probably longer than the lifetime of the subject. <br /><a href="http://www.nudewindow.com/uploaded_images/EPV0033-791183.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.nudewindow.com/uploaded_images/EPV0033-791174.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /> As such, the job of a photographer strips away the ephemera surrounding a person and so the nude window project is, to me, a metaphor of the profession. Everything unnecessary to my line of work has been stripped away, literally, to leave just me, my camera and a window of opportunity. <br /><a href="http://www.nudewindow.com/uploaded_images/EPV0011-719876.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.nudewindow.com/uploaded_images/EPV0011-719858.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Which, suitably, is exactly what a photograph wants to be, an empathic window into someone else's world.<br /><a href="http://www.nudewindow.com/uploaded_images/EPV0010-719819.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.nudewindow.com/uploaded_images/EPV0010-719807.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>M.
