The Small Epics Hidden in Our Days

PHOTOSNACK #728

Here is my Sunday thought.

I made this photograph with a very simple intention: to capture the energy of an everyday moment and show how much quiet power lives inside it. A person running along a wall — nothing extraordinary on the surface — yet the blur, the forward lean, the tension in the frame all reveal something larger than the scene itself.

For me, this image is a reminder that our daily lives are filled with small epics. We often underestimate them, but every ordinary action is a subtle act of endurance. A run, a walk, a commute, a routine — these are not just tasks. They’re steady movements against gravity, fatigue, distraction, and the chaos of the world. We move forward because we choose to. That alone carries strength.

Photography allows me to distill that strength. To show the determination that hides inside the mundane. To remind myself — and maybe others — that even the people we barely notice are carrying their own stories of effort and momentum.

Nothing about our days is as ordinary as it seems. We’re all running our own small epics.

Until next time,
Tomasz
