Aerial Views of Amsterdam from atop Church Towers
My favourite activity, and I’ve done this over and over again is to get atop the church towers and soak in breathtaking aerial views of the city of Amsterdam and beyond. This is the view from the top of the western tower along Prinsengracht Canal. You can see the Anne Frank House there below. Amsterdam [...]
This is another photo from Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, Holland.
This is another one of my photos from Prinsengracht. It’s another one from the series that consists of this photo and this photo and this photo. I love all of them. I’ve written extensively about the use of black and white film and I remember this post, Over with 35mm film way back in April [...]
Vincent van Hessen doing Redemption Song
I’d told Vincent van Hessen that I thought that he played Redemption Song better than it’s creator. Every time I hear him do this song, I get the feeling that a revolution is erupting around him; one that is about to change the world for the better. Vincent has a museum in Amsterdam named after [...]
The Laughing Life at Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam
I came upon The Laughing Life at Dam Square on a glorious summer evening in Amsterdam. Small crowds of people had already gathered around them. I joined in, making the odd photo. I heard them play a couple of songs and thought to myself that this was one of the better street shows I’d witnessed. [...]
Amsterdam Roots Festival
Last week, I read a note on facebook; it said that the Amsterdam Roots Festival has been nominated the Best Music Festival in 2011. I’d spent a day at the festival; June 26 I think it was. I had a good time. Earlier that week, I’d been to the LaMère festival in neighbouring Almere. I’d [...]
“It’s a Xylophone!”
This one’s another character study from Dam Square in Amsterdam. I came upon this man playing an instrument along Dam Square in Amsterdam. I didn’t really figure any of the music but the musician is a delightful man. The sounds of extended ‘tings’ and ‘tangs’ coming off his instrument flooded the crowded square that fine [...]
Along Prinsengracht Canal again
I’ve already told you that I had spent a significant amount of time standing on top of a little bridge along Prinsengracht Canal photographing the boats that sailed under me. The fact of the matter is that I must have spent well over 80 hours standing on top of this bridge during the two months. [...]

Dam Square in Amsterdam.
You see, I find writing to be a stressful affair. I’ll write less. Dam Square is a wonderful public square. I have spent a lot of time at Dam Square. I love it. On the wall behind the white stone pillar that is the National Monument is etched the names of the victims of World [...]
Prinsengracht Canal
The photograph of 4 men chilling on a boat along a canal near Muntplein in the November of 2010 sparked an idea in me. I spent a significant amount of time in the June and July of 2011 along Prinsengracht, photographing people sailing along the canal. This is one of the photos that I made. [...]
