Each time I realize I have nothing to write, nowhere to go, and nothing to photograph, I simultaneously realize that I can write whatever my mind tells me, go wherever ...

The more I do street photography in summer clothes (including the www.adammazek.com t-shirt) in frigid temperatures while wearing a heavy rucksack, the more I realize I am a pioneer in ...

Today (I wrote this text on the 16th of November, 2025), I will write about the upcoming break from rucking. What is the reason for it?

In today’s post (I wrote it on the 15th of November, 2025), I will try to explain when I will increase the weight of my rucksack for rucking.

I’ve been doing street photography for over 10 years, and today I want to stress that it’s only the beginning of my creative journey.

In the “Letter to Fear” post, I will reply to the letter from Fear, which I published in my previous post. Here we go:

Post “The Letter From Fear” is inspired by the “Mindful Photographer” book by Sophie Howarth, published by Thames & Hudson.

Today, I will write some thoughts on inspirations.

The older I get, the more I realize that we must lose to win.

The older I get, the more I realise that it is much better to take a longer sleep rather than eat breakfast.

Today (I wrote this text on the 8th of November, 2025), at the beginning of walking, doing street photography, and rucking, I told myself, “Enjoy discomfort.”

While walking and doing street photography, I do not think that my pictures will become historical and documentary pictures someday, in the future.

Sometimes, there are moments in my life when I think I control everything, literally every aspect of my life. Then, suddenly, I wake up.

In old age, I would like to look at my childhood photo and say to myself that everything was and is fine, even though it was damn hard. 

I think that’s true wisdom in life. Living in the present, being mindful of the here and now, is the key to finding joy in everyday life.

Some memories seem as distant as stars.

Does writing to the imaginary “my Dear Friend” mean writing to myself? I believe so.

It is 2 a.m. on the 20th of October, 2025.

Today (I wrote this text on the 19th of October, 2025), I will explain why street photography has unlimited possibilities.

Today (I wrote this text on the 18th of October, 2025), I will write some thoughts regarding people’s expectations regarding life.

Today (I wrote this text on the 17th of October, 2025), I will write about what we should focus on.

We often hear we should be better versions of ourselves. But what if our best versions are already behind us, gone forever, and all that’s left is a downward spiral?

Every day I wake up wondering whether today I will take the best picture of my life or write a groundbreaking text.

I do not take painkillers. I take painhealers.
