Best Things: Conceal and reveal
Remember my post last year about Samuel Zeller’s glasshouse photographs? I remain a fan of glass that’s neither frosted nor tinted, but which gives a broken transparency that does great things to light and shapes, and a conceal/reveal sexiness too. There’s a whole variety of names for architectural glasses like this, such as: reeded glass, hammered glass, chickenwire glass, cross-reeded glass. So I’ve put together a collection of not-quite-see-through scenes I found here and there:
