About Looking

Just finished book #9 - About Looking by John Berger. John Berger is a famous art historian/cultural critic, general social commentator from the seventies. His book is dense but very well written, but since the whole point of his book is about seeing things in images by studying them in quiet contemplation, I feel obligated to cut my editorial short and just offer poignant images from some of the book chapters to allow for contemplation on "looking."
