Sun Cycle Taken Dec 21-17. Looking South from Gov. Hill 1917

This photo by H.G. Kaiser, taken December 21st, 1917, captures a sequence of the sun's journey. Imagine the patience and precision it took to capture this celestial dance across the sky. It's like a cosmic performance, a ballet of light revealing the hidden architecture of space and time. There’s something so simple yet profound about documenting the everyday, like the sun’s arc. You can almost feel the artist’s presence, a silent observer patiently recording the passage of time. It reminds me of those early landscape painters who sought to capture the sublime beauty of nature, like Turner, but here the sublime is found not in dramatic vistas but in the quiet, methodical observation of a single phenomenon. It makes you consider how artists, even when using different mediums like photography, are constantly engaging in a dialogue across generations. They are all seeking new ways of seeing and understanding the world.
