Eisenhower in Den Haag 1945

This collection of photographs, "Eisenhower in Den Haag", was probably created in 1945 with a simple camera and assembled in an album. It's such a poignant assembly of images from that time. I can imagine the photographer carefully framing each shot, trying to capture the essence of the moment. I wonder what they were thinking, witnessing history unfold through their lens, and I wonder, how many shots did they take to get each one just right? Or were they just happy to get *any* image at all? There's something deeply human about these images. It reminds me that, as artists, we're all part of this ongoing conversation, inspired by those who came before us and hoping to inspire those who come after. What is the value of witnessing, documenting, remembering? How is the past always present?
