De woning van Willy Moos (Bellevue 62), vermoedelijk 1928, Hamburg 1928

These small black and white photographs from Hamburg, around 1928, document the home of Willy Moos. What a beautiful house, with its rounded portico supported by classical columns! I wonder what the photographer was thinking as they framed these shots? The images feel formal and composed, yet intimate and personal. Maybe this person was a friend or relative of Willy, capturing not just the house, but a sense of place and belonging. I'm especially drawn to the soft light filtering through the trees, creating patterns of shadow and light on the lawn. Photography, like painting, is a form of seeing – a way of noticing and preserving the beauty of everyday life. Just as painters use color and brushstrokes to convey emotion, photographers use light and composition to tell a story. And like all art, this photograph invites us to reflect on our own experiences of home, memory, and connection. It reminds me that every image holds a piece of the past.
