Summary, etc. See/Saw is a meditative journey through the history and meaning of photography in which Dyer offers close readings of selected images—from Eugène Atget to Alex Webb—to explore how photographs frame experience, history, and memory. Rather than presenting a comprehensive history, the book dwells on moments of visual encounter, uncovering hidden resonances, uncanny details, and shifting perspectives. Dyer’s prose weaves together personal reflection, historical context, and formal analysis, showing how looking carefully at individual images can open up broader conversations about time, place, and the nature of the photographic act.
