71 Photos: Views Through A Septuagenarian Lens takes an eclectic look at our human perspective and the passage of time in an original collection of nature photography and narrative discourse.

Photography is a visual artform; even the most realistic images are two-dimensional and inherently interpretive. Although many animals possess visual or other sensory capabilities beyond those of us humans, vision is especially important for our species in a multitude of ways that start with sensory function and include, for example, emotional, aesthetic, and communicative aspects of our lives. Our visual experiences are uniquely human or close to it. The photos in this book collectively illustrate these important points while underscoring commonalities between art and science, two distinctively human endeavors that often are mistakenly regarded as mutually incompatible.

Dr. Al Eisner's exploration of Aging and Photography transcends conventional boundaries, blending his expertise as a vision scientist with a nuanced analysis of image capture in nature. Meticulously navigating the intersection of science and art, Eisner's narrative unfolds as a philosophical journey, seamlessly weaving personal insights into the broader tapestry of memories. From the technical intricacies of photography to pondering the elusive moment when it transforms into art, Eisner's editorial finesse invites readers into a captivating realm of introspection. His distinctive approach elevates this book beyond a mere collection of images, offering a profound and thought-provoking discourse on the symbiotic relationship between visual perception and artistic expression.
