In today’s post (I wrote it on the 11th of January, 2024), I want to encourage you, my Dear Friend, to find your own path and follow it.
Did I find my own path? Yes, I did. Even if I know life is a road to nowhere in which there is nothing to find, I believe I found my creative path that I follow, practically day by day. Even if I do not do street photography each day, even if I do not write new text each day, I know I have found my own way to realize my soul. The more I create, the more I desire to do it. The truth is that I am 38 years old, and I’ve been doing street photography for eight years. I believe it is only the beginning of my creative journey that I want to follow until the end of my life.
I do not care how much money I will earn or if I become famous.
These two aspects of money-making and fame do not interest me at all. I forget about money and fame while walking and doing street photography. The only thing that counts is the creation process. I do not have a specific aim for my creative activities. Do I have to know its objective? I do not think so.
In the same way, as I do not know life’s purpose, I do not have to know why I desire to create and develop broadly defined artistic skills. I won’t provide you with information, my Dear Friend, about what you should do to find your own path and follow it. I think each of us will work something different. Perhaps my road will change somehow within the next few years. I do not know what the future holds. For today, I cannot imagine my life without street photography and writing.
