Weg met haarspeldbochten, auto's en een kar tussen Paja Kombo en Bangkinan op Sumatra c. 1914 - 1917

This photograph shows a road with hairpin bends, cars, and a cart between Paja Kombo and Bangkinan on Sumatra, and was created by Christiaan Benjamin Nieuwenhuis. I love the strange angles and unexpected views in photographs like this. I am drawn to the winding road, the sharp turns, and the way it cuts through the landscape. I see it as a kind of dance. I imagine the photographer trying to capture the essence of the road, its twists and turns, the way it interacts with the environment. You can see how the artist is searching for the right angle, the right composition. It’s a kind of intuitive process, responding to the scene, shifting and adjusting until everything clicks into place. It reminds me that art is not just about depicting what we see, but about how we see and how we experience it. Like, what was it like to be there? It's also about the journey, the exploration, and the discovery of new perspectives.
