Academy Award-winning director Errol Morris turns his eye to the nature of truth in photography
In his inimitable style, Errol Morris untangles the mysteries behind an eclectic range of documentary photographs. With his keen sense of irony, skepticism, and humor, Morris shows how photographs can obscure as much as they reveal, and how what we see is often determined by our beliefs. Each essay in this book is part detective story, part philosophical meditation, presenting readers with a conundrum, and investigates the relationship between photographs and the real world they supposedly record. "Believing Is Seeing" is a highly original exploration of photography and perception, from one of America's most provocative observers.
