Sometimes I wonder if the desire to become famous stands behind walking in the www.adammazek.com t-shirt in cold temperatures.
I suppose that the desire to become famous appears in all peoples’ minds. The truth is that I am not an exception. I would lie if I deny that I do not imagine myself as a renowned celebrity. In the post named „Fame,” I wrote that I do not need fame because it would disturb me doing street photography. Did anything change since I published the post „Fame?” I did it on the 12th of January, 2019. The current text I wrote on the 11th of October, 2021. No, nothing has changed during the period between 2019-2021. I must admit that I still agree with myself. The desire to become famous, undoubtedly, is connected with vanity. Perhaps most people are vain. Thus, I must admit that being the walking advertisement of myself, by wearing the www.adammazek.com t-shirt in cold temperatures, is connected with vanity.
Nevertheless, the truth is that I still do not want to be famous.
It is me who takes pictures on Warsaw’s street. I do not want to be the one who is photographed by other passers-by. Still, I can imagine that some people will snap photos of me. They can consider me a particular case of being a jester or madman. Of course, I do not care. They can take pictures of me and publish them on social media. In this case, they will advertise my creative activity. Does that mean that I wait for someone to come to me and ask if he will take a picture of me because I wear a t-shirt while it is cold? No, I do not expect that such a happening will occur.
Moreover, I hope that it won’t happen. That’s why my desire to become famous is an ambivalent issue for me. On the one hand, I do not want it and do not expect it because it would disturb me from taking photos on Warsaw’s streets. On the other hand, my vanity prompts me that desire fame.
