71 Photos: Views Through a Septuagenarian Lens - Paperback

by Al Eisner (Author)

71 Photos: Views Through A Septuagenarian Lens takes an eclectic look at our human perspective and the passage of time in an original collection of nature photography and narrative discourse.

Photography is a visual artform; even the most realistic images are two-dimensional and inherently interpretive. Although many animals possess visual or other sensory capabilities beyond those of us humans, vision is especially important for our species in a multitude of ways that start with sensory function and include, for example, emotional, aesthetic, and communicative aspects of our lives. Our visual experiences are uniquely human or close to it. The photos in this book collectively illustrate these important points while underscoring commonalities between art and science, two distinctively human endeavors that often are mistakenly regarded as mutually incompatible.
