Sometimes, when I wake up, I think I have nothing to write on my blog and nowhere to go to do street photography.
After these initial thoughts, I realized that when I have nothing to write, I can write whatever I want. It is only my imagination that can limit me. Going further, when I think I have nowhere to go to do street photography, I can go in any direction I want and take pictures practically everywhere. All the issues I briefly described above relate to one thing: creativity. I’ve been writing regular texts for my blog for almost seven years (I wrote the current text on the 29th of March, 2024 [during my Birthday]. I wrote the first post for the www.adammazek.com website in May 2017). However, I am still trying to determine whether I am creative.
I believe I am, and each piece of writing gets me closer to the master level of creativity.
Still, I know that often, when I try to write something profound and meaningful, a void appears in my mind. It is a moment when I realize I should write literally my thoughts floating in my imagination. That’s how I wrote the title of this text: “Nothing to write and nowhere to go.” After typing it, I realized that having such thoughts means I can write many things, including science-fiction novels or describe the weather outside during my writing.
It is only my imagination that counts.
Similarly, for many years (mainly before I started regularly doing street photography in 2015), I believed I could take great pictures only during trips far away from my home. How wrong I was! Today, I see that even if I have nowhere to go and do not travel, I can still take photos near my house in Warsaw. Indeed, I would say more than 95% of the pictures you see on my blog, my Dear Friend, were taken in the mundane surroundings of the capital of Poland.
