Julka I remember times when taking photos required skills and equipment (including darkroom kits). Now anyone can take a shot, even with the phone, there are more opportunities for example, with digital editing. Is photography finished as an art form, or is the opposite? Are we really still questioning if photography is art? My favourite artist and photographer Zdzislaw Beksiński once wrote in a letter to a friend, another photographer Jerzy Lewczynski: “photography, as such, cannot be art, and this lies in its very essence. The whole attempt of taking an artistic photo is a contradiction and it’s the biggest nonsense you can imagine. Remember what I’m going to tell you Jurek because today I’m under influence of alcohol and in a seer mood. Photography is not art! Puffery! Shit! Sham! Bye!” You could agree with this, but sometimes I subjectively feel that some photos can qualify for the title of art if they engage, evoke emotions, provided that they do not reflect reality. Perhaps, thanks to computer manipulation, photography is now even closer to art. Everyone should find the answer to this question within themselves. Dedicated to the forest; Model: Agnieszka Surdej; outdoor PAW What camera and what lenses do you shoot with? I use XIX century technique and take pictures using glass plates. I have an old Kodak View Camera large format cameras 6 1/2” x 8 1/2” (about 16.5 cm x 21.5 cm) and originating from the GDR: Mentor Panorama 18cmx 24cm, Głobica 18cmx 24cm lenses 250, 300, 360 Tessar and Graflex camera 4 x 5 “ Aero Ektar lens, 210 Tessar. I used to take black-and-white photos because in the past the colour was difficult to achieve (different magnifiers, different photographic film, different photo chemicals). And now, when technology allows you to show colours without any restrictions, photographers are running away from colour. How did you develop your passion for black-and-white photography? Let me explain that ambrotype imposes monochromatism because the image on the glass forms a metallic silver, and unexposed parts of a picture are transparent, meaning they become black. Despite the fact that these are quite contrasting photos, they are <strong>POST</strong> <strong>SCRIPTUM</strong> 83
