Tim Davis: I'm Looking Through You Summary

Tim Davis: I'm Looking Through You by Tim Davis

I'm Looking Through You is an expansive, visual poem celebrating the glamorous surface of Los Angeles and its reach.

Animating Davis's wry observations and mesmerizing, color-pop geometry of the images is his decades-long gimlet-eyed meditation on making pictures. As photographer and writer Tim Davis states, The camera is a machine that sees only surfaces. The world casts its spell, and the camera gobbles up its glamour, uncritically, with pure certainty, assuming there is nothing underneath. Davis's keenly observational images, interspersed with a selection of his writings on the medium-the joys and pitfalls of camera seeing-solidify I'm Looking Through You as an unabashed celebration of photography.

Tim Davis: I'm Looking Through You Reviews

Davis's book is a timely reminder of the breathtaking pleasure one can experience in approaching the world with sincere curiosity, eyes wide open, a camera in hand. -British Journal of Photography

A kaleidoscopic visual record of everyday street encounters tinged with a sense of otherworldly strangeness. -Financial Times
