Slice of Life in Images, Sounds (#SOL15, Day 15)

Tunes in Ears (M.A. Reilly, Boston, March, 2015)

I have been participating in Slice of Life (#SOL15) Challenge for the last 15 days. I thought today I would show what I have been seeing and recording in image through the lens of my camera during the first two weeks.

I made the black and white images in Ringwood, NJ, Newark, NJ, Manhattan, Boston, MA, and Tuxedo, NY.

Enjoy the slideshow. It's 2 minutes.

Seeing Again: 14 Black and White Images (re)Seen

Looking at Stonehenge (M.A. Reilly, England, 2013)

In What Light Can Do: Essays on Art, Imagination, and the Natural World, Robert Hass quoting Simone Weil writes that "[a]ttention is prayer, and form in art is the way attention comes to life." What we pay attention to and fail to attend to interested me this evening as I found myself cycling through images I had discarded. Taking a second look after the passage of time yields new insights, new ways of seeing what had been missed prior.

Here are 14 of those discarded images, reclaimed.
