I find it amusing that when you click over to Photography/Macro/Human [link]
The first and most popular body part to photograph is the Eye. So much so, that the need to rename the catagory to Eye.
Examples:


I am intrigued because I like eyes, I think most humans are fascinated with eyes... I know I am (see my novel for how much I am fascinated by them, and that is all I am going to say on that {see icon}). I am not even surprised that there is a club for it... ~Eyes-of-infinity possibly several clubs. Sometimes when I scroll someone's DA front page I find the Friends area amusing because of how many icons have eyes staring back at me... blinking, winking, and looking. This is mine, and some other EYEcons I have found:

So what is it with our obsession with the ocular organ? I have a few ideas on the subject, one is very simple: we as artists are obsessed with the part of ourselves which is the window to what we love. It is our eyes that bring us visual art and it is our eyes that tell our minds that we like it. It is in effect love at first sight, so therefore we love our eyes because they are our tool.

I am personally obsessed with eyes, because mine are so complicated and dysfunctional at times. Look up the term Adie's Pupil or Tonic Pupil and learn what I have. It isn't fun. So let's hear it, lets discuss our obsession with eyes, and why you think it is so. If you are blind, how do you feel about it? And if so, how are you able to experience this site?
