is female and what isn't. Gert: Is there a personal dimension in your work ? Is there a 'diary' aspect in your work ? Ester: Definitely. All of my work has a personal approach. Without that I guess I wouldn't be able to create something that has a meaning. If it wouldn't be personal it wouldn't make any sense to me to put so much of my own energy in to it. Gert: A very concrete question : I love very much your images of houses, probably because I see a great symbolic significance in these pictures. They really stimulate my imagination. Is that what you try to achieve with photography ? Ester: Yes this is what I try to create with my photography. To let the viewer find their own imagination or story in the photo. I love to create some unspoken stories in my pictures. Gert: Do you still work in a dark room? Ester: Unfortunately not. I used to have my own beautiful darkroom when I used to live in Berlin. Right now I only develop my rolls of film in my bathroom but I hope to find a darkroom again in the near future. Gert: Maybe I am wrong, but you don't give the impression that you are 'digital' photographer ? What is your relation with the 'technological' aspect of photography? Ester: This is a very interesting aspect for me. You know I love to combine these two things. In the end all that counts for
