Through The Window
I’ve always been drawn to the windows at Fort Langley National Historic Site.
Today, standing inside the cooperage and looking out into the courtyard within the fort walls, I can’t help but imagine someone doing the same thing nearly 200 years ago. Perhaps a cooper pausing from his work, or a clerk watching the yard. Someone waiting for a boat on the river.
These lanterns hang quietly now, catching the light instead of casting it. In black and white, the scene feels closer to the past. The distractions of colour fall away and what’s left is light, shadow, wood, glass.
I’m not trying to recreate history exactly. I just like to photograph it in a way that feels like it could have been seen back then. As if the window is still doing what it has always done, framing the world for whoever stands here.
Maybe that’s why I love these places so much. They let us look out and look back at the same time.
