Delizy captured this view of Koblenz with a pontoon bridge, we don't know when, using gelatin silver print. It's a process, right? How we see, how we record. The sepia tone gives the scene a dreamy quality, like looking at a memory. The texture of the gelatin silver print is smooth, almost soft, which adds to the nostalgia. It is a quiet conversation between light and shadow. Notice how the pontoon bridge in the foreground leads your eye towards the city in the distance. It's a journey. This reminds me of an Atget photograph, with its own kind of quiet and reflective mood. Art isn't about answers; it's about keeping the conversation going.
