Interieur van de Nieuwezijds Kapel te Amsterdam 1908

This photograph shows the interior of the Nieuwezijds Chapel in Amsterdam. I imagine Albert Adriaansz setting up his camera in 1908 to take this picture. The grayscale is like a ghostly veil, giving the scene a melancholy feel. The architecture looks like it's being held up by these clunky wooden supports. You can almost hear the echoes of hammers and the whispers of construction workers. What was it like to stand there, in that moment of transformation? I feel a kinship with Adriaansz. As an artist, you're constantly building and deconstructing, trying to capture something fleeting and real. This photograph feels like that—a moment of flux, a beautiful, imperfect process frozen in time. It's a reminder that art, like life, is about constant change and adaptation.
