Undoubtedly, throughout most of my life, I needed something to fly.
Please, do not consider this text literally, my Dear Friend. This post’s title does mean I needed a helicopter or airplane to fly. I needed a passion, thanks to which I would fly through my imagination. Did I find what I was looking for? I believe that the answer is quite apparent. Yes, I found what I needed to fly. Undoubtedly, I soar high over Earth, Solar System, and Milky Way, thanks to street photography. The curious thing is that I often do it while having both feet hard on the ground. On the one hand, while taking photos on Warsaw’s streets, I always have to be quick, intelligent, acute, percipient, and quick-witted. On the other hand, while walking with eyes wide open, I fly over the Universe and imagine many things.
This is how I do street photography, write texts and manage the www.adammazek.com website.
Speaking shortly: I often try to imagine many things and issues and try to obtain the big picture of them. This is how I fly, thanks to my passion. The essence of all my creative activities you can find, among others, in “Diaries” and sets of pictures, including “Negation of the End” or “Inspired by Tolkien.” For many years, I thought I could fly in my imagination thanks to drinking beer. Now I see how wrong I was. Drinking alcohol can be considered mind’s fueling (if you doubt, my Dear Friend, better google Charles Bukowski’s biography). Still, for me, it only works for a genuinely short period. In the long term, alcohol will shorten one’s life.
Today (I wrote this text on the 29th of November, 2021), I do not need alcohol to improve my creativity and fly in my vision. What I need is to take a subsequent photo walk, expose my body to coldness and, last but not least, hug my beloved Kamilka.
