How did you get to know photography from the beginning? Please explain.
MAREEN FISCHINGER: From the very beginning of my life, I have always known my father being the one to take photos with his single lens reflex camera. On weekends, we would lock ourselves in the bathroom and screw in a red bulb, then the magic of photo development began. Our family album looks so much different from my friends’ because of exactly those self-made black and white photos it contains.
It took a couple of years until I actually operated a camera myself. I never even knew snapshot cameras when I was little, and was only used to having that old mechanical one around me. Of course, I was very respectful of my father’s equipment and would not fool around with it.
