This old photograph of a snowy landscape by the Wachenheimer family looks like it was taken many years ago. I can see the crisp air and the sun shining weakly through the clouds. The image is printed in black and white, which gives it a timeless quality. It feels as though this snow could be any snow, anywhere. It makes you wonder, what was it like to be there in that moment? What was it like for the photographer to be in the cold? I’m really drawn to the simplicity of the scene, the way the landscape rolls gently. In this way, photography is like painting, isn't it? Because the artist crops and frames it and says look at this, or that, and what you see is a testament to where they're standing, and who they are. It invites you to pause and reflect on the beauty of the natural world.
