i think of looking as the most basic way of viewing something. as in looking at something without searching for something; without breaking down the visual landscape and without having a designer's eye for whatever you're looking at.
seeing something is different. i see movies and videos. i break down images and videos by seeing what makes an image an image. the rules of thirds being followed, the color schemes, the motion put on it, and how it's edited.
i remember as a kid i would try to figure out what the film crew was doing to get the shots they had. after i took my first video class i learned basic editing i knew how much effort an editor would put into every single clip. the more i learned, the more i SAW with video clips.
that's what i think the difference is between seeing and looking.
