Pagina 6 en 7 van fotoboek van de Algemeene Vereeniging van Rubberplanters ter Oostkust van Sumatra (A.V.R.O.S.) c. 1924 - 1925

This photograph, "Page 6 and 7 from photo book of the Algemeene Vereeniging van Rubberplanters ter Oostkust van Sumatra (A.V.R.O.S.)" was captured by J.W. Meyster, it's hard to imagine that the very act of photographing this library would be captured in a museum one day. I wonder what it was like to be Meyster, lugging around that camera, framing the world through the lens. It’s fascinating how the light falls and reflects back. Imagine him, carefully composing each shot, thinking about light and shadow. How aware was he of the way he was making images, and the way those images also made him? Photographs like these offer a quiet contemplation on history and memory. It's like a frozen moment, still and silent, holding a piece of the past. Now it's our job to defreeze it and bring it back to life.
