New York-based fine art photographer Gail Albert Halaban is a voyeur who is intrigued by the public versus the private in urban life. Her book, Out My Window, captured what went on behind windows in her NYC neighbourhood. Cathy Remy, photo editor for Le Monde's M magazine, invited Halaban to do a similar project in Paris. Remy and Halaban found participants through Facebook, friends of friends, and word of mouth, and all gave permission in advance. The results are stunning.

viewing that slideshow made me feel a little dirty. Not enough to stop, mind you, just a little. ;o)
