Straatgezichten te Rome, met het Colosseum en Piazza del Popolo 1936 - 1939

Berti Hoppe put together this photo album of street scenes in Rome. It's got the Colosseum, Piazza del Popolo, and other sights. I imagine Hoppe wandering around, seeing these iconic places. What was she thinking when she snapped these pictures? Was she trying to capture the grandeur, the history, or just a personal memory? Look at how the light falls, the angles she chose. Each photo is a little decision, a tiny act of creation. It's like a painter choosing colors, mixing them just so. The texture of the photos, the graininess, it's all part of the story. It reminds me that every artist is having a conversation with the world and with other artists. We're all borrowing, stealing, and transforming. Each picture, like each brushstroke, is part of this ongoing exchange. It's about seeing, feeling, and making something new out of it all.
