Loentje en Frank Furnée in een gondel en bij het Dogepaleis, in Venetië

This black and white photograph by Carolina Onnen captures a scene with Loentje en Frank Furnée, seemingly in Venice. It's like a glimpse into a personal diary, a snapshot of life unfolding. What strikes me about this image is its texture; the way the light plays across the water, the rough stone of the buildings, and the smooth surface of the gondola. You can almost feel the sun on your skin and hear the gentle lapping of the water against the boat. It’s not just a picture; it’s an experience. There's a kind of raw honesty in it. The way Onnen frames the scene, focusing on the everyday moments rather than grand gestures, reminds me a little bit of what Walker Evans was doing. Both artists were looking for truth in simplicity. Ultimately, this photograph embraces ambiguity, inviting us to bring our own stories and interpretations to the scene.
