Way to be a photographer - Fotographer Julia Fitzke

I spent the summer holidays of my whole childhood by grandmother in a village. I remember the rainy days than I loved to look at family photo albums. The pages were made of cardboard. From year to year I noticed new details in the photos when scrolling. It's like a favorite book to read several times. And every time to discover something new in it.

I still remember a photograph of my mother aged one year sitting on a small meadow in the apple orchard. I remember every detail of this picture.

As soon as the parents bought their first camera, I started taking pictures. It was the time of film photography. I loved photography and looked forward to the photos, which could only be developed in special laboratories. It was the moment of waiting and uncertainty, what will become of the photographing, a kind of mysticism.

Now is the time of digital photography. And the result can be viewed immediately on camera's display.

In black and white photography, simple seems complicated and complicated seem simple.
