continued: updates and I soon found myself
addicted to its sense of community and the wonderful people it has allowed
me to meet.
Yasse: Do
you have hobbies besides photography? What are they?
Emese: I
love to travel. I wish I had more time and money to do so.
Yasse: If
your photographs
could change the world, what would you wish their impact to be?
Emese: I
don't think my
photographs change the world. I'm just a girl with a hobby. I go out there
to shoot what I think looks pretty, interesting, heart-warming, or sad. Sometimes
I do it to challenge myself, other times I hope to transform something beautiful
— yet fleeting — into something more permanent.
Eventually
I hope to develop my own style and maybe one day actually find the courage
to call myself an artist. For now, through my photos I share only my world,
nothing more. Perhaps it would be
easier to just consider what Susan Sontag said about photography: "The
camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually
in one's own."
Yasse: Out
of all your series of photographs to date, do you have a personal favorite?
Emese: That's
a tough one. It's like asking a mother to pick a favorite from among her children
and I'm notorious for not being able to pick just one of anything.
