Gezicht op de Adriaen Janskerk en Kasteel IJsselmonde c. 1890 - 1920

This photograph, Gezicht op de Adriaen Janskerk en Kasteel IJsselmonde, was made at an unknown date by an anonymous photographer using a camera. It's all in shades of brown, kind of like an old memory. I love the way the buildings are captured, they have this weight and permanence, but also feel soft, almost dreamy. Look at the church, for example. You can almost feel the way the light would have been, muted, casting a soft glow over the scene. And what about the castle, that's maybe being repaired. The whole photograph feels like a moment captured in time, a little world frozen in sepia tones. This piece makes me think about Atget, you know, with his photographs of old Paris. Both artists seem to be interested in documenting the world around them, capturing these fleeting moments before they disappear forever. Anyway, that's just my take. What do you see?
