Friday 17/05/2013 1000 Photos Amsterdam Last night I went to the Kick-Off event of '1000 Photos Amsterdam' at the Melkweg Galerie, and as always when the '1000 Ideas' folks get together, there were lots of creative, smart people having a great time, while making the world a better place by supporting a charity project for the unfortunate and underprivileged of the planet. I talked to a lot of cool, interesting and artsy people, and I'm really looking forward to the events planned for the next month, until the Grand Finale on June 16, where all photos will be sold to support the 'Young In Prison' project. Donate your pictures too, you can even have them printed for free at the Fotolab Kiekie! :) More pictures on my Facebook page! Thursday 16/05/2013 My Little Wicked Shop Shots of puddle reflections in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop. When it's not raining, you can find me on the Rembrandtplein these days, presenting an exclusive selection of my wicked reflections and other Amsterdam photos that are for sale, so if you're in town, come by and have a chat and a coffee with me, and maybe you'll see a picture or two that you'd like to hang on your wall! Of course you can always send me a message at Prints@amstersam.com if you see a picture online that you'd like printed, and I'll mail it to you :) The Tunnel Takeover On May 13 the bike-tunnel under the newly renovated Rijksmuseum was opened again for bikers, after 10 years (!!!) and a heated discussion between us and the local politicians, and we all went on our first ride with big smug smiles on our satisfied faces, watch the movie of my maiden-cruise through the cultural underground of the best city in the world :) We even got a medal for our braveness :D Saturday 11/05/2013 Greetings from Amsterdam Thursday 09/05/2013 AmsterSam Art Sale Since the beginning of this week, I am selling high quality prints of my wicked reflections on the Rembrandtplein, if you're in the area, come and visit me :) Friday 03/05/2013 The Window Shopper Shots of window reflections in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing besides some fiddling with darkness and contrast, no magic tricks, no Photoshop. For some reason that I can't explain it does not rain anymore in Holland, a bad situation for any decent wicked Reflectah, but instead of panicking, or walking around with a big water-tank on my back, to spritz the corners of Sin City with to create some puddles for myself, I re-focused my eyes and lens on the manymany windows we have in Amsterdam. I think it's safe to say that there's a reasonable amount of wickedness found in these pictures, puddles or not, and I hope you like them enough to overcome the fact that the rain has gone...oh, wait, I'm the only one who likes rain and actually misses it, lol :D Reflection Movies I don't know if you know this already, but I make wicked reflection movies too, and I'm going to share them with you totally randomly from now on...or you can go and watch them on my YouTube channel, thanks :) Wednesday 01/05/2013 Queensday 2013 Shots of the Queensday 2013 in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. Yesterday we celebrated the last Queensday ever and it was a sunny, beautiful and relaxed day, it wasn't as busy as in previous years and we all enjoyed the smooth flow of the orange masses through the city and parks. Next year we'll have our first Kingsday ever, and I'm sure it's going to be good fun as well! Thank you Beatrix, we'll miss you :) Queensday Movies I've made some movies of the Queensday too, watch them on my YouTube channel, thanks :) Last Month |
