This photograph, by Delizy, captures a view of Decize, sometime in the past with gelatin silver print. It's small, intimate almost like a found treasure. I'm struck by the way the light plays on the water, creating this soft, hazy reflection of the town. It's not about sharp details, but more about mood, and atmosphere. There's a stillness to it, like time is standing still. The texture almost disappears into the paper, like fog on the water. The composition is classic – the town is spread along the hill, with its church steeple pointing to the sky. It reminds me a little bit of some paintings by Corot – that same quiet, unassuming beauty. What does it all mean? Maybe it's just a simple record of a place, or a moment in time. But to me, it feels like so much more than that.
