Vrienden van Loentje Furnée, op straat, op een strand, bij de Scheveningse Pier, en een gezicht op een villa in Noordwijk Possibly 1928 - 1930

This photo album page by Carolina (Loentje) Frederika Onnen, captures friends in Loentje's life. Snapshots of moments collected on a single page, a little world. I can imagine Loentje making these photographs, capturing a likeness of her subjects and pinning the photos to the page. What was she thinking when she made it? Maybe she's thinking about how images create their own reality, like a painting does. She's interested in painting a world, a little world of friends in her life. It makes me think about how our relationships and interactions shape who we are. Each photo, a gesture, communicating feelings, intentions, and meaning. I think about other photographers, like Nan Goldin, who created intimate portraits of her friends. It's like artists are always having this conversation across time, inspiring each other's creativity. It's ambiguous, open for interpretation.
