Groep mannen, vrouwen en kinderen in klederdracht op de kade bij Volendam c. 1900 - 1910

'Groep mannen, vrouwen en kinderen in klederdracht op de kade bij Volendam' was captured by G. Hidderley in the past. I'm thinking, what camera was G. Hidderley using? What did the day smell like? Was it cold? Did the person feel happy when they looked through the lens? It is very evocative of the everyday, the ordinary. You get a sense of the materiality. I feel like the artist is trying to capture a moment in time and there are such subtle differences in color and texture, and the way that the artist has chosen to capture this one moment. There is something very personal, and kind of funny about the way that a group of people have been captured here. Photography is a conversation; Hidderley speaks to us now, we speak back in our way.
