Else Wachenheimer-Moos voor een houten gebouw op de berg de Rocher de Naye, tijdens een vakantie van Eugen Wachenheimer en zijn echtgenote Else Wachenheimer-Moos door Zwitserland, augustus 1928, omgeving Montreux 1928

This old photograph, captured in August 1928 near Montreux, Switzerland, shows a wooden building perched on the Rocher de Naye mountain. It’s mossy, as the title suggests, and covered in snow. Imagine the photographer, maybe one half of the vacationing couple, Eugen or Else Wachenheimer, framing this shot. They see the little house on its spindly stilts and it just begs for a photo. I mean, what were they thinking as they pressed the shutter? Were they cold? Did they consider how this snapshot would echo through time? It's all in grayscale, yet the texture speaks volumes, from the rough-hewn wood to the crisp snow. The composition draws your eye to the building, a silent witness to the landscape. It almost feels like the photograph is saying that beauty can be found in the most unassuming corners of the world. This image feels like a nod to the endless conversations artists have across generations. It reminds us that even a simple photograph can be a form of expression, echoing with possibility.
