I follow a shadow path during a heatwave.
Does it mean I plan to move to the dark side of my personality, misbehave, and do terrible things as Putin does in Ukraine? No. It means that when I do street photography in the summer, I choose to walk along a shadow path. I seek shadows to hide my body from the burning sun. I know that all people have both good and dark sides of personality deep inside them. We can do tremendous things with compassion and hurt other people with cruelty.
It is up to us which way we choose to behave, to act.
Still, in today’s post, I wanted to focus rather on following a shadow path physically. I wrote this text on the 21st of July, 2022. Within the next two weeks, I will change my job. I will be working in another Warsaw district: Bielany. Undoubtedly, I will gain many fresh incentives thanks to exploring this district. I haven’t explored this area as much as the district where I live (Mokotow), or I work today (Bemowo). But what do all these things have in common with following a shadow path?
I must admit that I plan to do street photography in the Bemowo district almost daily until the end of July 2022.
It is because I probably won’t have as many occasions to do it in the future as I have today. Still, there is a brutal heatwave outside. That’s why my photo walkings last shorter than usual. Moreover, I avoid exposure to the deadly sun as much as possible. When I realized that I seek shadow paths while on the way, I reminded myself that I look for the sun while strolling during freezing days. I suppose everything I wrote in this post is evident, and I did not discover America while writing about it. Is this text a stop-gap? Perhaps, it is. Posterity will judge it.
