From the  I N T R O D U C T I O N  of the PHILADELPHIA SOCIETY ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
During his studies,  CASPER MOLENAAR  bought a second-hand photo book
of his beloved region featuring 192 photos by celebrated German photo-
grapher, KURT HIELSHER (1881-1948), of a country that no longer exists:
YUGOSLAVIA. Kurt Hielscher indeed was a celebrated photographer during
the interbellum period, but he also fell into oblivion after WWII. For
Casper, that became the starting point of a new adventure. Then and Now:
» IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF KURT HIELSCHER « Casper travels to the locations
of the original photographs and tries to recreate the photos of almost a
century ago. He learns about the histories of the places in the photos
and discovers just how much things have changed from the ravages of time
or, in some cases, how much they’ve stayed the same. He dives into the
person and life of Kurt Hielscher and meets others interested in his
work both on and offline. Casper also gained the remaining photo books
by Kurt Hielscher from countries like Spain, Germany, and Italy. His
hobby got out of hand and his journey is far from over.
