I was afraid of pain, challenges, and loss for most of my life. Today (I wrote this text on the 31st of October, 2022), I am not scared of it anymore.

Throughout my whole life, I felt I needed something to breathe.

Life is a game where you can’t lose. We call the end of the game “death.”

It’s not external factors and the world that decide how I feel but my mind.

I think such is our human nature deceitful that, as a rule, beautiful photos are simply lovely and “easy to digest” for recipients.

In the post “Accept lack of knowledge,” I do not want to encourage accepting the lack of knowledge in your professional job.

I have loved watching strangers’ faces on the streets for many years.

I do not empty my mind by drinking alcohol or doing drugs. So how do I do it?

Do not follow me, my Der Friend. Forget all my advice and follow your own intuition.

When I go out to do street photography, I often tell myself I do not want to take great shots and have remarkable ideas to write down.

When I have a problem or issue, I always try to imagine the worst possible scenario.

“Accept cold” – these were the first words I told myself when I walked in cold temperatures yesterday.

I was ignorant in terms of the Beatles’ music.

I will never write my autobiography because many pieces of it you will find on the www.adammazek.com website.

Do I listen to music albums while doing street photography? The answer is simple: no.

Last time I wondered whether I began appreciating quantity over quality in my writing.

Do I manage to write one text daily for the whole of 2022?

It’s been one month of publishing one post daily. I wrote the current text on the 14th of October, 2022.

Last time I realized I often use the “The older I am…” phrase. Thus, I decided to write with this title to link it to terms from the past.

Without self-discipline, I would not write one text daily and take thousands of pictures yearly.

This post refers to the post entitled “Mindless Consumerism” (written on the 15th of January, 2022). I wrote there that I was not born to earn and spend money.

To paraphrase Fleetwood Mac’s awesome, optimistic song “Don’t Stop,” I want to encourage you, my Dear Friend, to stop thinking about tomorrow and forget about good and bad times.

Today (I wrote this text on the 9th of October, 2022), I will try to explain why appearances can be deceptive.

Last time I heard an interesting theory regarding watching photographs from vacations. What was theory?

This post’s title is a quote from Eric Burdon and The Animals’ song “Sky Pilot.”

The longer I live, the more I feel we do not need the meaning of life to be happy.

Sometimes I like to cut myself off from the world, not through drinking alcohol or physical escape, but through music.

The more I do street photography, the more I see and feel the world is bizarrely beautiful.

My personal and creative rule regarding naming my photographs is to give them a name for everything that is out of the vision of the image.

It’s been seven years of regularly doing street photography.

While most people in Poland fall into lethargy during autumn and winter, I feel I am born again, thanks to my body’s exposure to cold temperatures.

The title of this post refers to the Beatles’ song, “Hey Bulldog.”

I enjoy publishing one post daily. Why? Because I read my thoughts from the past every day.

The longer I take a cold shower in the early morning, the more frequently I come to my office to work with long, wet hair.

I wrote this text on the 27th of September, 2022. It was a day when I realized that I’d been taking cold showers in the early morning for half a ...
