Wijngaard Waterhof in Kaapstad 1968

This photographic image was taken by Willem Jacob van den Berg in Kaapstad. It's fascinating to imagine the artist, standing there, framing the world through their lens. What caught their eye? Maybe it was the contrast between the leafy greens and the stark white architecture. Or perhaps it was the way the light filters through the leaves, creating dappled shadows that dance across the scene. I find myself wondering what else was happening that day. What were the sounds, the smells, the textures of that moment? Did Van den Berg linger there, savoring the view, or was it a quick snapshot, a fleeting impression captured in time? I imagine other artists doing the same, across the world, each with their own perspective. We are all taking images all the time, aren't we?
