Seeing What I Like and Liking What I See is more than a collection of tantalizing photographs. The author seeks to explain the reactions that occur within our mind when we recognize something really new and different. These moments of awareness act as seeds that later mature and flower in unexpected ways. The author insists that what we believe is true and beautiful should appeal to our entire being, our senses, our intellect, our experience, our heredity, everything. The breathtaking complexity of the human mind-eye is here explored through its unique relations. The mysterious and revolving correlations between thought, sight, and desire are examined by means of photographs. Discrete aspects of seeing are isolated and analyzed within a wide range of scenes. Personal preferences and their baffling beginnings are probed.
