Huis met oprijlaan c. 1900s - 1910s

This photograph, "Huis met oprijlaan," shows a house and driveway as seen through an opening in a picket fence. I can just imagine the photographer setting up their equipment. What’s so cool about this image is how it’s framed, like we are sneaking a peek into another world. You know, the way the photograph crops the scene – the dark foliage, the fence, the house in the distance. The photographer's eye is so good. What I think is cool about the framing, is how the artist plays with the perspective to emphasize the distance. The contrast enhances the texture of the gravel driveway, drawing your eye toward the main subject, which is the house. The artist probably took time in their work; it is a very thoughtful piece, like the artist wanted you to see the world through their eyes. Isn't it funny how artists are always in dialogue, even across time, inspiring each other's creative impulses? What does this picture make you want to create?
