Sluitsteen van het hunebed van Kerguntuil, Trégastel Possibly 1939

This photograph of the 'Sluitsteen van het hunebed van Kerguntuil, Trégastel' was taken by Jan Lanting. It's all about process, right? The way light reveals every surface, every tiny detail, makes you wonder what Lanting was thinking. There's something about the stark contrast here; it's not just about recording what's there, it's the texture, the way the light plays on the stone, almost feels like you could reach out and touch it. The greyscale is not dull; it creates depth, shadow, and a feeling of timelessness. Look at the top right corner; there is a dark mass which is almost abstract in its form. This reminds me of some of the early landscape photographers. They weren’t just documenting; they were trying to capture something deeper, an essence, or a feeling, and it’s like Lanting is in conversation with them. It's a conversation about how we see, how we feel, and how we connect with the world around us. And that's always open to interpretation, isn't it?
