This series of photographs was inspired by pictures of storefront windows in William Eggleston's Paris. Instead of in the City of Light, these photos are located in Dallas - in the Victory Park area, the Arts District, and the central business district.
Denizens of Dallas will recognize some of the iconic emblems of the city such as a display window on the original Nieman Marcus store, the Pegasus atop one of the city's skyscrapers, and the large red sculpture located near the Bank of America building. However, the photos here weren't intended to depict Dallas, but simply represent a large American city and the various reflective surfaces that can be found in modern glass and steel buildings and other urban structures. I became fascinated with what I discovered to be three dimensions or planes of the two-dimensional images that emerged from the photos I had taken. The first dimension/plane is the one behind the window, such as the mannequin in the Nieman Marcus window. The second dimension is the window itself and its supporting structure. The third dimension is the reflected image shown on the window. One's focus shifts between those three planes, even imagining the first dimension when it is not revealed in the photo.
