Museumnacht @ the Stadsarchief - Flickr Legends Reflected, originally uploaded by AmsterS@m - The Wicked Reflectah.
Unedited shot of Wojofoto and myself, reflected on a window at the N8, the Museumnight, at the Stadsarchief Saturday night in Amsterdam. Shot with a borrowed Sony HX1. No editing :)
Yesterday I went to the Stadsarchief, the Amsterdam city archive, for the Museumnight, a yearly event during which all the museums are open all night long, a major party spread across the whole town, that attracts tens of thousands of hip young people to rush from one cultural temple to the next on their bikes and inhale a healthy overdose of art, history and culture that lasts all year long, until the next Museumnight :)
Last year I've met with Rob, the New Media Director of the Stadsarchief, and the cool Flickreros Ronky and Wojofoto, to set up a permanent archive of the photos from our Flickr group, that will be stored for eternity on the servers of the city archive and made accessible to the public, making our photos an official part of the history of the best city in the world...wicked puddle pictures forever, yay :D
Last year our photos were shown on giant screens and on individual PC stations on the ground floor, this year there was a dedicated slide-show area that also served as the starting point for the guided tours through the building, enabling the visitors to enjoy our pictures while preparing to roam the various levels and locations of the city archive :)
