Unwanted reflections in windows

Looking through a store window from the outside, I spotted a scene that had potential for the Urban Fragments thread. I decided not to shoot it because reflections of things outside on a bright day would have overwhelmed the objects behind the window. Is there a technique for eliminating reflections? I can't carry a huge solid surface around to block the light.

polarizer will help.

I should have mentioned that I have a G15 and no DSLR.

I spouse that you could hand-hold a circular polarizer over the lens.

They do have polarizer kit for the G15; probably not the best quality but it's better than nothing.

You can get a filter holder to the camera. Then it takes standard 58mm filters.

I have the 58-mm filter holder. I'll look into polarizers. Thanks!

As above.
You need a Polarizer to reduce/eliminate reflections & glare on windows and water etc..

Apart from that (it only works to some extent, depending on the angle, light etc) you're only other option really is to block the light that's a problem. Of course if you're not taking a photo of the actual window then you just remove your lens hood (if you have one) and press the camera right up against the glass. Failing that, open the window
