"Seeing Things: A Kid's Guide to Looking at Photographs" is an introductory photography book by American photographer Joel Meyerowitz (1938-). Known for pioneering color street photography in New York City since the 1960s, and for works such as "Cape Light," Meyerowitz has consistently explored the rich meanings hidden in light, color, and everyday moments. This book, primarily aimed at children aged 8 to 12, gently guides them through the question of "how to look at photographs." It includes works by prominent photographers such as William Eggleston, Helen Levitt, Mary Ellen Mark, and Walker Evans. Each photograph is accompanied by a short comment, offering clues to imagine the stories and meanings hidden within the images, focusing on elements such as light, composition, gestures, and moments of time. Conveying that surprise and discovery can be found even in familiar scenes, this book is a quintessential Aperture photography education guide designed to cultivate the joy and imagination of viewing photographs. The text is in English.
