How can you read a picture book without a formal story?

Let the visuals guide you, interact and talk about how the images affect you and what you see. Start with the elements of color, shape and pattern and let it transition to the new words being learned (for the very young) or an experience recently shared (for the not so young). Have it be a conversation starter for an older one who is just learning about the art of seeing and being introduced to the concepts of design, photography, art and composition. Strengthen imagination and foster an innovative reading of visual imagery.

The photographs can be the guide for a conversation that goes a bit deeper - let it inspire the way you communicate with each other and watch how those talks can transform the way you experience daily life together.

in short : a not-so-precious first photography book

in long : always looking will engage your awareness of the present moment
