The Rainbow Reflection Unedited window reflections of the Media Markt of Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop. Every 2 weeks or so I go on a little bike trip to some remote village or forgotten area of Amsterdam (like the Southeast, where the Media Markt is situated and where I took these shots) and write an article about it for the 'Dam in 60 minutes' series in 'The Sentinel', a magazine that shares the love for the best city in the world and everything around it with the rest of the planet. If you want to enjoy these fun journeys too, you can do so by virtually going with me here :) P.s.

2 Fast And 2 Furious Unedited water reflections of Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop. As much as I love taking photos, I'm a total retard when it comes to understanding my camera and the billions of wheels, buttons and options it offers, often resulting in far from perfect pictures like these here. Of course this does not stop me from shooting wicked puddle reflections, but sometimes I think I should really try to learn what it all means, maybe I could take even awesomer shots of the wild life in the best city in the world...or maybe my head would explode, because it would be too much for a simple, underdeveloped human brain like mine. Luckily we'll never know, I can't even get the concept of aperture and shutterspeed to stick in my little gray blob upstairs...and yes, it has been explained to me many times, I just forget it again instantly, but I'm good at remembering other things...no, not your birthday, that's another thing I will forget each and every time:) P.s. If you are in town, go and visit my Solo Expo at the cafe 'Van de Buurt' in the west of Amsterdam, it'll continue until the end of February and you can get a real 'AmsterSam' photo for as little as €3 :)

On Top Of The World Shots of the giant 'I amsterdam' letters at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. You might feel down&out sometimes, but the simple fact that you can read this, on a computer/tablet/phone screen, most likely inside your own house, while there's enough food in the fridge, and nobody is shooting at you, means that you are privileged and lucky, you are not hungry or sick, you are not in some kind of war-zone and you are mostly free to do as you please...isn't that great? There are people who are not this fortunate, and I'm sure they'd be happy to be in your position right now...or possibly even on top of the 'I amsterdam' letters, one of the best places in the world to witness a beautiful sunset :) P.s. If you are in town, go and visit my Solo Expo at the cafe 'Van de Buurt' in the west of Amsterdam, it'll continue until the end of February and you can get a real 'AmsterSam' photo for as little as €3 :)

Be All You Can Be Unedited water reflections of Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop. You might not know this, but you can be and do anything that you want, because it's your world! Yes, it is! You can do what you really want to and what you love, there is no limit, if you can imagine it, you can do it! I know, this sounds easy, but in reality there are all these obstacles in your path towards happiness, satisfaction and a self-chosen profession, so let me tell you a little secret: the only thing stopping you from doing what you love doing is you! Your own mind will tell you that it's impossible to be ecstatically happy while following your heart, but that's a lie...the mind wants to chatter and it wants to tell you exactly why and how you can't do this or that...stop listening, start doing, it works :) P.s. If you are in town, go and visit my Solo Expo at the cafe 'Van de Buurt' in the west of Amsterdam, it'll continue until the end of February and you can get a real 'AmsterSam' photo for as little as €3 :)

The Lost Souls Shots of bikes in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. We have a LOT of bikes in the best city in the world, and sometimes you park your ride somewhere but don't remember exactly where...which means you'll probably have to buy a new one, as you'll never be able to find your own bike back in that giant pile of parked steel horses...sometimes you can hear the lost ones moaning softly on warm Summer nights around Central Station...pat them on their seat and whisper some soothing words into their ears, or sing them this song, they like that, and they won't feel so alone :) P.s. If you are in town, go and visit my Solo Expo at the cafe 'Van de Buurt' in the west of Amsterdam, it'll continue until the end of February and you can get a real 'AmsterSam' photo for as little as €3 :)

I Am The Sunset Sunset at the giant 'I amsterdam' letters outside the Rijsmuseum in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop. Yesterday I biked through the tunnel underneath the Rijsmuseum, and when I came out on the side, I was lucky and caught a spectacular sunset bathing the giant 'I amsterdam' letters, that have become a huge tourist attraction, in beautiful light that marked the end of another lovely Winter day in Amsterdam, the best city in the world...I wish you could have been there with me!

Just Another Random Amsterdam Shot Random pictures of bikes in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. Sometimes it's good to just go with the flow and not think too much about stuff...today is one of those days, so I will just do what seems right and not waste mental resources thinking about the why and what...actually, I think I do things in this way most of the time, which means I'm true to myself, lucky me :) P.s.

Triple Double Vision Unedited water reflections of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop. It's weekend, the sun is shining in the best city in the world and I feel energetic...sort of, at least, came home late last night after a beautiful evening with friends and delicious food, one of the best ways of spending your time I'm sure you'll agree. The value of friendship and dedicated laziness is madly underrated in our modern society, we got our priorities all wrong, focusing on material possessions and spending our days accumulating shizzle we don't need...maybe 2014 is a good year to think it all over and change our ways...and remember, change always starts with YOU! have a wonderful, wicked weekend, enjoy! P.s. If you are in town, go and visit my Solo Expo at the cafe 'Van de Buurt' in the west of Amsterdam, it'll continue until the end of February and you can get a real 'AmsterSam' photo for as little as €3 :)

'A' For 'AmsterSam' Shots of the giant 'I amsterdam' letters in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. I just can not figure out what it is about those giant 'I amsterdam' letters that makes them so attractive to visitors of our lovely city Amsterdam that each and every one of them wants their picture taken with them. I mean, yes, I know, it's fun and all that, but still, I just don't get it...and the fact that city-hall misspelled my name doesn't help, hahaha :D
