About the Book

Look & See Me is a book about thoughts and feelings experienced at the time through an eighteen-year-old boy growing up in Australia but wishing to be elsewhere. We follow his journey—and thoughts—to America and home again. And only upon returning to Australia does the author find his love for photography, which enables him to share these thoughts and dreams with others in a more tangible medium. This is both a written and visual journey over the years, of loneliness, melancholy, despair, and hope. It takes the reader from an eighteen-year-old boy to an almost sixty-year-old man, through the years, sharing both his poetry and his images.
