Eye-Catchers

1.

Remember Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window? His character was a kind of Peeping Tom, an eyewitness to his neighbors activities. We saw it all from his view. Fear, curiosity, lust, love, perception; his emotions were expressed in the raise of an eyebrow, the widening of pupils and the narrowing of eyes. He was confined to a wheelchair, and alone at critical times, but even without action or dialog we perceived and shared his panic. It's one of my favorite movies.

"Eyes are the windows to the soul." Can you look at someone and tell if they're sick, or sad or savvy? Can you recognize when someone is genuine or phony? My mom could tell if I was lying by looking in my eyes (although the law of averages worked in her favor,) and I can tell when Dee is worried by his eyes, even if he denies it.

What can you read about a person by looking them in the eye? Have a look at these pretty peepers as practice.
