Machteld Honig met echtgenoot, 1933 1933 - 1938

This photo, 'Machteld Honig met echtgenoot', was taken in 1933 by an anonymous photographer. I wonder what kind of camera they used? Did they have a dark room? What was it like to take a picture in 1933? There's something kind of vulnerable and sweet about this image. The man and the woman are standing in front of some trees and grass. The man is wearing a white suit and the woman is wearing a dress. They look like they're dressed up, it looks like they made an effort to pose for the camera, which I really admire. When you look at old photos it makes you want to look at the old photos that are in your family. This reminds me of the work of other photographers, too – snapshots by Lisette Model, or even Nan Goldin, who also wanted to capture a moment in time. It’s a great reminder that we are all constantly inspiring each other.
