Warsaw is a labyrinth that traces and maps out paths for me on its own.
How happy I am that even if I walk and do street photography in my neighborhood, I still cannot map out all of Warsaw’s streets and nooks. Undoubtedly, some would say I am too dumb to remember all the tracks and paths I walk along. They may be right. Still, the truth is that I simply can get lost in the Stary Mokotow neighborhood. I do not see anything wrong with this case.
On the contrary, when I realized that I lost direction near Ligocka and Madalinskiego streets, I realized Warsaw is a labyrinth for me. When I realized it, I was simply happy. I felt like an alien and tourist visiting an unknown city.
The capital of Poland was tracing and mapping out paths for me on its own.
Even though I often feel Warsaw is my personal city, I can still get lost there. When I think about all these things, pure, childish joy, excitement, and curiosity spark my imagination. The truth is that there are still districts where I have not done street photography. These are Wawer, Wesola, and Rembertow. Moreover, there are still many undiscovered and unexplored neighborhoods for me. These places are in districts like Bialoleka, Targowek, Zoliborz, or Wilanow.
Undoubtedly, sooner or later, I will be exploring them photographically. I can simply imagine that I will have a feeling I will be in a maze.
I feel thrilled when I think about it. Warsaw is not only a labyrinth to me but a vast space of infinite opportunities to take some great pictures. The capital of Poland will be enough for me to photograph until the end of my life. After all, Warsaw is a labyrinth where millions of others and I can get lost and find peace and happiness.
