Ecology of Photography Mike Shipman

The Ecology of Photography explores the foundations of art making: our senses and perceptions, curiosity, cognition, and how those elements impact the way we view and interpret our world and the photographs we make. This is an exploration of the "why" of photography, not the "how", based on years of experience as both a biologist and artist, thoughts and research about the process of photography and art making. While centered around photography, this book is also useful for all artists who are exploring their own way of experiencing and interpreting their world and communicating that to others.
