Ed Panar: Animals That Saw Me, Volume Two

Featured image is reproduced from Ed Panar: Animals That Saw Me, Volume Two one of our favorite Stocking Stuffer Gift Books of 2016. Cats, dogs, raccoons, frogs, groundhogs and other creatures make appearances, regarding the photographer, and us, as we regard them back. "If you have suffered from trauma, one of the most healing things that can happen to you is being seen," Timothy Morton writes. "Being seen doesn't have to mean that someone actually lays their eyes on you, although that certainly helps. Being seen means that your being is held by the other person without comment, without praise or blame or indifference, just with some kind of open care."
