For my slow seeing revisited, I wanted to capture light as it changes in the rooms in our house, gives life to and animates our plants and creates shadows in our neighborhood.

Through this assignment I noticed two things about myself – I tend to seek sunlight and I have preferred to go on walks with Clinton and my siblings either during the afternoon and evening hours.

At home, I spend more of my day on the top floor of our house. Multiple windows allow for natural light and I enjoy looking at the city skyline throughout the day. As the evening light aims directly into my room, I love spending them in my room as the sunlight sets.

The afternoons are spirited, I hear the birds singing their spring songs, the squirrels running around and Clinton tugging at his leash to sniff new patches of grass. The evening hours have a comforting low light, pink skies and puffy clouds, it almost feels like a dream.

I used to think that I had to be somewhere busy like a city in order to capture “better” moments, but have realized that slow seeing is about appreciating what we overlook, the objects, places and areas closely around us. I appreciate and will continue to observe the resilient nature I have been noticing; from sunny days to snow storms and the occasional hail mix, the spring trees continue to bloom and the grass grows its hair. All this considered, I’ll be super excited when the city reopens and I can head back to my favorite spots and shoot some more!
