Sometimes, I wonder whether I should publish more pictures and fewer texts.

I wrote this text on the 5th of July, 2024. It was a day when I could state that during the summer of 2024 in Poland, there had only been one heatwave so far.

Today, I will write a few words about OMAD.

Observing mainland Russia from the Estonian castle in Narva was like observing the Moon. Why?

Eating from morning to evening, I find that first, it is problematic on the stomach and then hard on the mind.

Today (I wrote this text on the 30th of June, 2024), I will explain how Estonia inspired me.

Practically, while doing street photography, I always aim to see something where there is seemingly nothing.

Often, as I close my eyes before sleep, I am greeted by bizarre visions that seem to be plucked straight from the surreal and frequently disturbing worlds depicted in the works of Beksinski and Bosch, two renowned artists known for their nightmarish and otherworldly paintings.

I want no new style in my street photography.

Between the 1st and 4th of June,2024, I embarked on a 70-hour fasting journey (from 01.06. – 9 p.m. to 04.06.23 – 7 p.m.). This was not just a physical challenge but a testament to my willpower and determination.

One month ago (I wrote this text on the 22nd of June, 2024), I had a crisis in reading Proust.

I decided to write the “Hasselblad for free!” text not only to see how many visitors this catchy phrase would attract to the www.adammazek.com blog.

Who am I? Am I a sum of my experiences, moods, memories, behaviors, and feelings shut down in one body? Or is there something more, something more profound, that defines me?

Between the 10th of June and the 17th of June, 2024, I practiced an unobvious experiment.

I have been engrossed in Marcel Proust’s novel, “In Search of Lost Time,” since mid-August 2023.

The only activities I could endlessly wallow in are not immoderate eating, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes or weed, or sex, but reading, writing, walking, and photography.

In today’s text (I wrote it on the 5th of June, 2024), I want to liberate you, my Dear Friend, to write with the freedom of knowing that no one will ever read your texts. This is your space, your canvas, your sanctuary of self-expression.

In today’s text (I wrote it on the 3rd of June, 2024), I want to encourage you, my Dear Friend, to photograph as if no one should ever see your pictures.

I have always enjoyed listening to Nirvana songs.

Today, I will write some insights on creativity. Sometimes, through the fatigue associated with my office work, I feel that I am not as creative and effective in my artistic activity as I would like to be.

I find myself in a constant struggle, believing in something yet unsure of what that something is. This internal conflict is a journey I invite you to join me on as we navigate the complexities of faith and existence.

The streets of Warsaw, with their unique blend of history and modernity, never fail to inspire me. Every time I do street photography, I find inspiration on the streets of Warsaw.

If you know the Beatles’ songs, my Dear Friend, you will undoubtedly quickly decipher the title of this post.

Led Zeppelin’s masterpiece song, “Fool In The Rain,” reminded me that I am often a fool in the rain.

The element of randomness was, is, and will be the crucial factor in my approach to street photography.

My inner combat between madness and rationality has occurred in my mind, heart, and soul since I started street photography (October 2015).

Have you ever considered that from any point on Earth, there’s a potential for an exciting photograph?

Each day I wake up, I think about immersing in street photography. My thoughts are consumed by the world of street photography, a realm I am deeply dedicated to.

We have the right to make irrational decisions because we are human, and that’s perfectly normal. It’s part of our unique human experience.

“I think I’m dumb, or maybe just happy.” The words of Nirvana’s song “Dumb” frequently echo in my mind.

Today (I wrote this text on the 15th of May, 2024), I had some thoughts about prosperity.

On the 14th of May, 2024, I needed something to write.

Today, I will provide some insights about walking.

While walking and doing street photography, I want to see the world through the wonderment of a child’s eye. Everything is of interest, every moment a potential masterpiece.

The more I stroll and play with street photography, the more I desire to walk and take pictures of everything I see.

On the 10th of May, 2024 (I also wrote this text on that day), I embarked on a street photo walk that resulted in a staggering 381 pictures.

All Quiet on the Eastern Front.

Would it be possible to write my biography based on my blog posts?

If you don’t reach the stars by taking interstellar journeys, let the other worlds come to your mind and allow them to live there for as long as possible.

As I sat down with my thoughts, I challenged myself to write a text within the next ten minutes, capturing the essence of my day.

Today (I wrote this text on the 3rd of May, 2024), I want to stress that “communication” is the keyword.

On the 29th of April, 2024, I spontaneously decided to prolong my fasting hours. During my sixty-two-hour period of not eating, I didn’t eat anything between the 29th of April (10 p.m.) and the 2nd of May, 2024.
