So we’re sitting there at work, right? And we can hear this strange sound, right? And no one knows what it is, right? I reach for my camera – because whatever it is, it’s gotta be worth a photograph. Then we see a wide metal brace, part of a platform, descending into our field of vision. Aha – it’s the window cleaners. So I quickly shoot half a dozen frames while they work. Then I realise I just need to wait until they lather the window – and shoot the skyline and Flinders Street station through their cleaning solution. It’s not every day you get a chance to do that. And my colleagues? Oh, they were very busy. Busy rating the two window cleaners, that is. On a maximum scale of ten, they got a lot of sevens.
