Veemarkt in Grobogan 1910 - 1928

This photo of a market scene, Veemarkt in Grobogan, is a little window into a world we can only imagine now. You can feel the heat and the dust in this picture. What kind of person do you think took it? What were they trying to show? Were they just passing through, or were they part of the community? There's so much life caught in this little square of time! The soft tonal range captures the haze in the atmosphere, and the light flickering through the trees that surround the enclosure. I wonder what the photographer would think of us looking at this now. It's like we're all in a big conversation, them, us, the people in the photo, all talking across time and space. Isn’t that amazing?
