Brug over water in bos omgeving 1913

Geldolph Adriaan Kessler captured this black and white photograph of a bridge over water in a forest setting. It's a scene that feels both intimate and expansive, y'know? The composition has this dreamy quality, almost like a memory fading at the edges. The way the light hits the water, it's not about sharp details, but more about the overall mood. You can almost feel the stillness of the water and the quiet rustling of leaves. Then, there's the placement of the bridge, which acts as a subtle invitation, like, come on over, let’s see what’s on the other side. Kessler’s photography has this pensive quality that reminds me of early work by Eugene Atget. Both have this knack for finding beauty in the everyday. With photography like this, it is less about capturing a moment and more about creating an atmosphere. What do you see?
