Werkzaamheden aan spoorrails tijdens de overstroming van Parijs 1910 - 1911

This small photograph by G. Dangereux captures the scene of the Paris flood. It's all in greyscale, like a faded memory. I imagine the photographer, Dangereux, standing there, watching people fixing train tracks during the flood. He's probably thinking about the city changing, water everywhere, and how people keep working even when things are tough. Each person doing their job makes me think about how connected we all are. The lines of the tracks draw your eyes into the photo, like in a painting. This image reminds me that making art is about sharing what you see and feel, and how every little thing can mean a lot. Even in a small photo, there's a whole world of stories and feelings. I wonder if the people in the photograph knew that someone would one day find them interesting?
