This photograph, “Jeugdstorm tijdens een kringspel”, was taken by the NSB. It’s a small, rectangular picture, black and white. In this scene, kids are playing some kind of game in a circle in a grassy field. I look at this scene and I want to imagine the person that held the camera - and the person who looked at the developed photograph. It's difficult to imagine the emotional state of the person who took this photo. They were capturing something they felt was important. I wonder what sort of things they were trying to document? What did it mean to them? The picture is almost a hundred years old and now lives in a museum.
