Blik vanuit hotel Weissen Kreuz tijdens een vakantie van de familie Wachenheimer, zonder personen, eind 1935, Interlaken 1935

This series of photographs by the Wachenheimer family, taken from the Weissen Kreuz hotel in Interlaken in 1935, gives us a glimpse into their holiday. I imagine the family, perhaps gathered around, deciding what to capture with their camera. The black and white tones lend a timeless quality to the scenes, emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. The composition, simple and direct, focuses on capturing the essence of the place. Each shot feels like a quick study, a way of recording a memory. I feel a connection to this family. What were they thinking as they framed these shots? Were they aware that they were creating a visual record? In some ways, photography, like painting, is about noticing and framing the world around us, inviting us to pause and consider what we see. It’s a form of conversation, an exchange of ideas across time. It's not about perfection but about feeling.
