Wife Noir: An homage to Hitchcock and early Technicolor. Sara (my patient wife) agreed to model for me.

I just bemoaned the practice of photographers turning the world into a photo studio in another LuLa thread, so now allow me to contradict myself by really liking this.  :)  Voyeuristic without being voyeurism. Well judged.

I don't aim my camera at windows. That's way too creepy and crosses an ethical line. However, I had a blast doing this with my wife. I am thinking about setting the intervalometer on my camera to take pictures of me through my window. I'm sure my neighbors across the street will let me use their porch to set my camera up on a tripod. I want to try it with a long lens.

Bob,

Your inventive and creative mind never ceases to amaze me.
I look forward to "Son of Rear Window."

I love it, Bob. Fine shooting. I'm glad you're not shooting through windows normally. It not only crosses an ethical line; it crosses a legal line, as a photographer in New York discovered to his dismay a couple years ago.

If you're referring to the Arne Svenson photographs (The Neighbors), while disturbing, the victims...and I'll use that word...lost their case. The photographs were not a violation of the NY privacy law, and that ruling was upheld on appeal (Foster, el al v. Svenson 2015 NY Slip Op 03068 [128 AD3d 150]) I haven't found that the case was further appealed.
