On the 23rd of October, 2023, I decided (not for the first time in my life) to google the phrase: “Warsaw Street Photography.” What did I see?
I saw something unexpected. After adding the phrase “Warsaw Street Photography,” I saw for the first time that one of my pictures appeared on one of the first grids in the Google search. Was I surprised? Yes and no. Yes, because I did not expect it to appear on the abovementioned day. No, because I knew it would be a matter of time before my blog became top in Google search machine. After all, I have managed the www.adammazek.com website for over six years (I published the first post on the 1st of September, 2023).
Moreover, I have published one post daily for more than a year.
I knew and presumed it would be a matter of time before my website became one of the most Google-friendly websites. All these things do not mean being the first in the Google search is the ultimate aim of my artistic activity, with managing a blog at the forefront. Still, I am simply glad it happened. I wrote many times I would become a famous artist one hundred years after my death. Still, it can occur earlier. Google search bar can help me in this case. If you have doubts, my Dear Friend, I recommend googling the “Warsaw Street Photography” phrase and checking if one of my pictures appeared in the first photo’s grid. As proof, I attach print screens from the browser (regarding Warsaw, my photo is the one with a cross on the lower right-hand side).
Moreover, it appeared that my pictures Google presents also while adding “Wroclaw Street Photography” and “Vilnius Street Photography.”
I am curious why my photos do not appear in the primary Google grid after searching the “Riga Street Photography” phase. I believe this could be due to the specific algorithms Google uses, or perhaps the popularity of other content related to Riga street photography. While writing all these things, I asked myself whether I was vain. Perhaps I am. On the other hand, I believe most people using social media platforms or google themselves are somewhat futile. I am only a human. I am not perfect in being vain.
