Believing Is Seeing by Errol Morris
Observations on the Mysteries of Photography
A probing collection of essays that examines how photographs and other visual evidence shape — and are shaped by — what we already believe, arguing that seeing is not a neutral act but a negotiation between image, context, and interpretation; through historical cases, personal anecdotes, and philosophical reflection, the book shows how images can mislead, be manipulated, or be misread, and it explores the fragile boundary between objective fact and subjective perception and the consequences for truth, memory, and justice.
