Poznan Exhibit 2020

linktr.ee/ewitsoe
Nine years ago, I arrived from Seattle with my partner Agnieszka, a little luggage, a camera and an open mind and heart to a new life in Poznan. Within the first week, I knew I was already falling in love with being here and the colorful autumn atmosphere was just beginning to whisper promises of so much more to come. I started out my adventure in Poznan by taking pictures of this new life abroad so I could show my family and friends back home how beautiful it was here and the discoveries I made along the way. Trams became a point of fixation and I loved sitting in the window seat watching my personal cinema unfold as it rolled through the city or glide past me from my pedestrian vantage point. The city streets that I walked everyday allowed me to feel the mood of the city and breathe its life with each passing season which inspired me to seek out stories of strangers that helped me understand my own walk in life. The atmospheric color of autumn and the chilling light of winter made me swoon with amazement and as each ended, I was already thinking about the next ones to come. Spring and summer brought longer days and a bounty of unexpected nostalgia as I was often reminded of my youth in Washington State and sometimes the light was so similar I felt like I had stepped back into my past and might be late for school. For almost seven years I lived in the heart of Jezyce, walking the streets, drinking coffee, buying my goods, and of course photographing daily life and simple moments that captured my attention and moved me. I opened a coffee shop in the Pasaz Apollo and for many wonderful years this gave me a reason to wake up at 5am and walk into the city chasing and photographing light every day of the year while getting lost in long shadows and the mysteries of sunrise and the early morning hours. For almost seven years I called Poznan my home and it is an honor to know that those seven years have shaped my life in extraordinary ways , inspired me to further pursue a life in photography and chasing light and that every moment of those years will remain firmly embedded in my soul along with a catalog of moments that make me smile at the memory of them. I arrived with an open heart and mind, but it was the people of Poznan who embraced me, made me feel welcome and that I belonged here, giving me new purpose in my new home. As always, thank you.
