Aimed at children between the ages of nine and twelve, Seeing Things is a wonderful introduction to photography that asks how photographers transform ordinary things into meaningful moments. In this book, acclaimed and beloved photographer Joel Meyerowitz takes readers on a journey through the power and magic of photography: its abilities to freeze time, tell a story, combine several layers into one frame, and record life's fleeting and beautiful moments.
Joel Meyerowitz is an award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world. He is a two-time Guggenheim Fellow, a recipient of both National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities awards, and a recipient of the Deutscher Fotobuchpreis, and has published over thirty books, including the Aperture titles Legacy (2009), Cape Light (2015), and Provincetown (2019). He lives in Italy.
“Meyerowitz distils a lifetime’s thought about getting, and
appreciating, the shot . . . Truly an eye-opening invitation.”
—Kirkus Review
“Put your budding artist on a first-name basis with photographers
like William Eggleston, Mary Ellen Mark, Helen Levitt, and Walker
Evans while showing them how to go beyond the first glance. It’s
like art history and appreciation 101, but fun.” –AIGA Holiday Gift
