Every day I wake up wondering whether today I will take the best picture of my life or write a groundbreaking text.
This curiosity makes me look forward to the coming day and what it will bring. I wrote this text on the 15th of October, 2025. It was a typical day in the office for me, filled with the usual tasks and interactions. Luckily, I managed to finish at 4 p.m. after eight hours of work, and was still able to do street photography, because there was still daylight. While walking and rucking (I had a backpack which weighed 30 kg [66 lbs], and I took almost 12k steps), I recalled my thoughts from the early morning. Once I woke up, I asked myself whether I would be able to finish my work at 4 p.m., and considering I would be able to, I wondered if I could take one of the most outstanding photos of my life.
Also, I was convinced I would be able to write a text in the late evening (I was writing this text at 11 p.m.).
I wondered if perhaps I would write the most profound text today. Of course, I do not think I took the most significant photo of my life today (even though I took over 120 photos), and, as you read my text, I doubt you would consider it groundbreaking. Still, the truth is that I believe in the creative process. I believe that the compilations of my photographs and texts (created within the decades [as of today, I have been regularly photographing for over one decade, and I have been writing for over eight years]) will be my true opus magnum, which will be published by Taschen publishing house years after my death. The thought about taking the best picture of my life (I believe I still haven’t taken it) and writing the most profound text is something that truly drives me toward the process of creation.
