Perseverance

What’s my most significant advantage as an artist? It is not only artistic proliferation but also perseverance.

I am persistent in many aspects of my life. Today, I will provide to you, my Dear Friend, one of the most significant examples from my life. I had been swimming regularly for about seven years (between 2011 and 2018). I started swimming for 30 minutes, and in the last year, I was swimming for one hour and forty minutes. Once I gave up swimming, I began to take pictures on the streets of Warsaw daily. I know that I can be tedious, but I want to stress this fact once again. Since October 2015, I make tonnes of pictures, mainly on the streets of Warsaw.

I do all my best to become the most persistent photographer who ever lived on this planet. I know that I can be the best one. Muhammad Ali, undoubtedly, was the best boxer that ever lived on this planet. I want to become an Ali of photography. Perseverance is the key to success.

The fact is that I believe that to become the best of the best in photography, I have to be a prolific artist as possible.

Moreover, I am convinced that by doing what I love to do, I can reach the top of the mountain. My dream is to live a minimum of one hundred years and to be able to still photograph and write, even in this old age. I want to leave for the posterity more pictures than both Eugene Atget, and Garry Winogrand left for us. Without perseverance, I won’t manage to do that: every photo walk and writing of every post I treat as a training. For me, it is taking a next, further step in all my creative doings. I want the word “perseverance” to stick to my mind every day, until the end of my life.
