Untitled (group portrait of uniformed firemen) 1915

Editor: So, this is "Untitled (group portrait of uniformed firemen)" by Hamblin Studio. It's a silver gelatin print. It definitely has an eerie feel, like a ghostly gathering. What strikes you when you look at it? Curator: The initial ghostly feel is certainly interesting, isn't it? I think it makes one consider the ephemeral nature of memory and the people in that photograph. The bright columns almost feel as if they are supporting the weight of memory of these brave firemen. Editor: That's a lovely thought, the weight of memory. Curator: Indeed, and how we connect with these figures across time. It’s a reminder that every photograph holds a story, seen and unseen.
