The Squeegee Man

More about The Squeegee Man

A high-angle POV shot captures a window washer cleaning the exterior glass of a skyscraper, with a vast New York City skyline spread out below on a sunny day. The window washer’s gloved hands are prominently featured in the foreground, with the right hand holding a silver squeegee against a soapy window panel, and the left hand grasping a blue bucket that contains water and another squeegee. Yellow ropes, part of the window washing equipment, are visible on the left side of the frame, tethering the washer. The washer’s legs and feet, clad in dark trousers and sturdy brown boots, are just visible at the bottom of the image, hooked into a safety harness. The reflection of the cityscape, including numerous yellow taxis on the streets and other towering buildings such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, is mirrored on the adjacent clean and soapy glass panels. The bustling streets, filled with tiny cars and ant-like pedestrians, stretch into the distance between the skyscrapers under a bright sky dotted with white clouds.
