van Weerden Poelmancantine Chaseekazerne, Breda 1945 - 1949

This photo, by Emdeeha, shows van Weerden Poelmancantine Chaseekazerne in Breda. It's a bit like looking through a memory, isn't it? Imagine the act of framing that view, capturing that specific moment in time. The black and white gives it a timeless feel, as if it exists outside of any particular era. I wonder what Emdeeha was thinking as they clicked the shutter? Were they drawn to the geometric composition of the room, with its tables and chairs receding into the distance? Or were they more interested in the play of light and shadow across the scene? I find myself thinking about the materiality of photography itself - the way that light interacts with film to create an image. It's a conversation that artists have been having for centuries, each building upon the ideas of those who came before. And that conversation continues today, as artists explore new ways of seeing and representing the world around us.
