Today (I wrote this text on the 3rd of October, 2025), I realized I have been doing street photography for 10 years.
I wrote many times on the www.adammazek.com blog that I started regularly doing street photography in October 2015. Today, I can proudly announce I have been doing this tremendous activity for 10 years. Am I happy? Yes, of course. I feel I have one of the best hobbies I could imagine. It is not only the case that I can walk. After all, walking is one of the healthiest and most underrated activities people can do. Street photography helped to cherish the present moment. It makes me realize I should seize the “here and now” moment, because yesterday is long and so far away, and tomorrow may never come.
While walking, I contemplate many things.
Or, sometimes, I am rocking in the cloud where my mind is floating freely above the sky. Then, unexpectedly, a visual of mundane reality strikes my eyes. It is a moment of reminder that I am here and now and that I should photograph the object that caught my eye. Since summer 2021, I have been practically always walking in the “www.adammazek.com” t-shirt. By doing it, I became a walking advertisement for my artistic endeavours. A few months later, I started exposing my body to cold by walking in summer clothes (including the t-shirt mentioned above).
I have no doubts that this activity improved my health and well-being.
The same thing was with rucking. I’ve been doing it since the 18th of August, 2024, and, in general, I have become much more powerful than I was earlier. All things mentioned significantly improved my well-being. I have no doubts that, in general, I became a better version of myself thanks to all these things. I would not be doing them without doing street photography for 10 years.
