Dootje en een andere vrouw, lopend 1934 - 1935

This photograph, author unknown, captures a scene of a woman walking in a crowd. The palette is grayscale. I wonder about the person who took this photograph. What was it like to walk around a street and take photos? I think the artist probably didn’t take the photograph in one shot. Maybe they were like, "not yet," "not yet," and then “YES!” when they saw the framing. The movement of the subject, captured by the camera, is such a beautiful gesture. It’s that exact moment of the artist’s decision-making that gets me going. It's about how the artist feels. I find it incredibly powerful. Artists inspire each other, and they inspire me, too.
