Even if I am sometimes rocking in the clouds, I am fascinated with reality.
Street photography helped me become fascinated with reality. For many years of my life, I was longing and imagining for something inaccessible and impossible to reach. Today (I wrote this text on the 31st of March, 2025), being 40 years old, I must state that I love reality and do not want to live elsewhere at other times. As far as I remember, in one of my set pictures entitled “Living in Poland,” I wrote that many times I imagine myself living in other places and other times (e.g., in the New York City from Madonna’s video clip “Papa Don’t Preach” or Hiroshige’s Edo (today Tokyo) from the XIX century).
The truth is that I love rocking in the clouds, to be honest.
Still, every time I return from my imagined worlds to reality, I am more than happy that I live here and now, in Poland, in the third decade of the XXI century. I love not only life but also the reality that surrounds me each day. The more I write about all these things, the more I desire to do street photography. The truth is that within the next few days, I will have limited possibilities to do it (I will probably only be rucking while coming back from the office to my home when it is already dark).
Many tasks in my office job sometimes prevent me from doing what I love. Does it mean I am sad or mad? Contrary. I know that sooner or later, I will be doing street photography, and the joy of doing it will be felt much more by me. I cannot wait to do it. For now, I must go to the tremendous sleep. I hope I will dream about reality.
