Look Through Any Window

At 96 and 98 St. Mark's Place in the East Village neighbourhood of New York City are two buildings with many windows, some are open, some have their curtains drawn.

Some people want their privacy while others want to see those who are looking in on them.

Some like to show off their possessions, flaunting their acquisitions. They always leave their curtains open even at night, lighting their room to say,

"Look what I have"

Some like to shut their curtains, to separate themselves from the world outside.

This is what happens in almost every neighbourhood all over the world.
