By doing street photography, I express my delight and interest in the world around me. It is a cliché, but it is the truth.
Each time I wander through Warsaw’s streets, I wonder how beautiful the world is. I wrote this text on the 25th of March, 2023. On that day, I was doing street photography in my Mokotow district. I was walking in Wygledow, Sluzewiec Przemyslowy, and Ksawerow neighborhoods. The truth is that I was simply delighted by the fact I could walk and take pictures of everything I saw. I suppose my astonishment at everything surrounding me, including trees, garbage, or street lamps, will last until my death. How is it possible that I admire the same things I see practically every day? I still need help figuring it out.
I think most people are bored of mundane reality.
They want to jump out to exotic places. It is not the case I do not want to travel. I do want to travel. The issue is that I am delighted to be doing street photography near my block of flats in Warsaw. I am astonished even though I have seen many views thousands of times. Undoubtedly, in street photography, I trust. I wonder to which point my amazement of life will lead me. I cannot wait to see it.
Moreover, I can’t wait for the Taschen publishing house to publish books about my creative activities.
Undoubtedly, there will be much content to show after decades of street photography. For today, I have been doing street photography for seven and a half years. I hope the delight will be with me for other decades. If it leaves me, I will probably stop doing it. Still, I cannot imagine it. Why? Because I love walking. When I walk, I will take pictures of things I see because that’s how it is.
