I am often asked where I get my enthusiasm, the desire to take pictures almost every day, and how I don't burn out from so many shots? It took me a while to answer, but I found the answer anyway.

I've written many times about switching between frequencies and genres – that's the whole point of my never-ending energy.

I may get tired or burn out of any one genre, but I won't stop wanting to take pictures at all.

For example, I quickly burn out from the spotty street and street photography in general, then I switch to night landscapes or dugouts.

If I get tired of beautiful aesthetic postcards, I can immerse myself in a reportage or graphics.

It's this switch that gives me a little respite from one genre while I immerse myself in another.

It probably only works for me, and it's not a fact that it will help others.

Plus, very often I arrange themed walks or some kind of assignments for myself.

It happens more by itself and I don't think about my tasks.

I see that there are a lot of dandelions, so I go to shoot everything related to them.

In the process of shooting, the rest of the plots no longer interest me, or fade into the background.

I can't walk down the street and shoot absolutely everything I see in a wide variety of genres.

There are combinations of directions, but only if they are close.

For me, different genres are like different worlds and I can't be in them at the same time.

Well, the third option is why I still haven't burned out – I'm crazy, a fan of my business, I live it...

There are times a couple of times a year when you don't want to shoot anything at all...but it doesn't last long.
