Do I have to be afraid of what everyone is scared of?
Sometimes, I wonder whether I should be afraid of what everyone is scared of.
Five days of doing street photography.
I wrote this text on the 21st of December, 2023. It was a day when I knew I had five days of doing street photography ahead of me.
Blessed nothingness.
The older I am, the more I feel my existence is a blessed nothingness in the totality of the Universe.
Relics.
Are human bodies relics? After all, humankind’s history moves much faster than our bodies’ evolution.
Consternation.
While walking and doing street photography dressed in summer clothes (including the www.adammazek.com t-shirt), I see that I mainly cause consternation among passersby.
Gloomy day.
Today (I wrote this text on the 16th of December, 2023), it was a gloomy day in Warsaw.
Mindfulness. Inspired by Proust.
The more I read Marcel Proust’s “In A Search Of Lost Time,” the more I see and feel people from the previous centuries were much more mindful than most of us are today.
I don’t believe in Lennon, part II.
Today (I wrote this text on the 14th of December, 2023), I will note that I don’t believe in Lennon for the second time in my life.
Mundane reality.
When I do street photography and capture everyday items and mundane reality, I am performing the operation of the spirit.
Problems.
Today (I wrote this text on the 11th of December, 2023), I won’t describe my problems. I do not see any reason to do it (for today).
Yawning.
Today (I wrote this text on the 10th of December, 2023), I will write about yawning.
The best music to focus on.
I like listening to music while working in the office or writing new texts. That’s why today (I wrote this text on the 8th of December, 2023), I will write about the best music to focus on.
Use your illusion.
This text won’t refer to one of the greatest rock albums ever to appear, Guns and Roses’ “Use Your Illusion.”
War in Ukraine: inspired by Putin.
The fucking Putin did not inspire me to ruin, destroy, and annihilate other people’s lives.
The real life.
The real life is on the pavement, not on the computer screen.
This is it.
This text won’t be about a movie about Michael Jackson entitled “This Is It.”
You won’t see cold in most of my pictures.
I wrote this text on the 2nd of December, 2023, after walking and doing street photography for two hours wearing summer clothes when the temperature was -2 degrees Celsius (28.4 degrees Fahrenheit).
Is it possible to force creativity?
I do not believe it is possible to force creativity.
New day = new idea.
It’s a mystery to me, but each new day brings a fresh idea, a new spark of inspiration. The joy of this discovery is what keeps me going, always eager to see what the next day will bring. Speaking shortly, “New day = new idea.”
You are what you read.
You are what you read; read well.
Where to find happiness?
I look for happiness in myself.
Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius and Marcel Proust, two literary giants, mentioned ice baths in their worldwide famous works.
Thinking about pain.
Today (I wrote this text on the 25th of November, 2023), while walking and doing street photography, I was not thinking about pain.
Warsaw is an endless inspiration.
Undoubtedly, Warsaw is an endless inspiration.
Everything and nothing.
By reading my blog, you will know everything and nothing about me.
Escapism.
Escapism is not for me.
The healing power of street photography: how it can improve one’s mental health.
Today (I wrote this text on the 21st of November, 2023), I will write about the healing power of street photography and how this sportive and creative activity can improve one’s mental health.
I am here to be.
I am here to be, to exist, to experience, and to contemplate.
0 degrees Celsius
On the 19th of November, 2023, I had the privilege of walking with my beloved Dad in the healing forest in Brok. The weather was a chilly 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), but the warmth of our shared experience far outweighed the cold.
We weren’t born for convenience, well-being, and fortune.
This text will be controversial. Still, I believe we weren’t born for convenience, well-being, and fortune.
Eat, drink, live vs. Eat, drink, sleep.
A few days ago (I wrote the current text on the 18th of November, 2023), I noticed one of Warsaw’s restaurant advertising slogans. It sounded like “Eat, drink, live.” When I spotted it, I changed it in my mind to “Eat, drink, sleep.”
Nulla dies sine linea.
Nulla dies sine linea is a Latin phrase, “no day without a line.”
While being in the flow of doing street photography.
While being in the flow of doing street photography, I am happy, focused, confident, and relaxed.
How to get closer to God?
I won’t write about how to get closer to God in today’s post (I wrote it on the 14th of November, 2023).
How do I know myself?
I read to know the world and ultimately know myself. The act of reading is not just a means of acquiring knowledge, but a journey of self-discovery.
Clickbait.
Today (I wrote this text on the 12th of November, 2023), I will try to explain why clickbait isn’t everything.
Time to write.
The more texts I write, the more I see I do not have a specific and favorite time to write.
A sunny path.
Yesterday (I wrote this text on the 10th of November, 2023), I told myself to follow a sunny path while walking and doing street photography.
Thumbs-up.
While walking and doing street photography on the 9th of November, 2023, an old man driving a car honked twice, smiled at me, and gave me a thumbs-up.
Back to the main topic.
I often use the phrase “Back to the main topic” in my text.
Busy with everything.
I don’t want to be busy with everything without doing anything. That’s why I joyfully manage the www.adammazek.com blog, a platform that allows me to share my passion for street photography and writing.
