This family photo album was made between 1920-1932 by the Wachenheimer family. Isn't it interesting how an ordinary object like this can feel so evocative? The deep blue cover has a kind of pebbled texture, making me think of the sea. I like to imagine the family carefully choosing photos to remember special moments. Did they sit around a table, laughing and reminiscing as they assembled this collection? It makes me think about how we construct narratives around our own lives. It's interesting to consider the physicality of the album itself. The size, the weight, the way the pages turn. These tactile qualities create a sense of intimacy, inviting us to connect with the past in a tangible way. Looking at this object feels like a conversation across time, a reminder of the shared human experience of love, loss, and memory.
