Twee foto's van Frank van den Berg met een hond en een gezicht op de Amstelhof te Amsterdam 1932

These are two photographs by Frank Willem van den Berg, capturing scenes around the Amstelhof in Amsterdam. I wonder about the act of looking back on our lives, of making art out of memory... What was it like for Frank to be there, in that moment, directing his lens toward these scenes? I imagine him carefully composing each shot, deciding what to include, and what to leave out. In one photograph, we see Frank with a dog, the shadow of the photographer looming large. In the other, a distant view of the Amstelhof, with the river reflecting the buildings like a mirror. These images feel personal, like snapshots from a family album. He's in conversation with the history of photography, capturing the essence of a moment and sharing it with us across time.
