Unedited water reflection of bikers in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
I love bikes and I love shooting wicked reflections, so whenever I get a chance to combine those two things into one picture, it fills my heart with joy and childish excitement, I'm not sure if anybody who does not live inside my head can understand that, but for me it is the pinnacle of happiness, entertainment and a good vibe, all rolled into one ecstatic state of being that is much like a drug, I need to do it over and over again or I'll feel bad...it's much cheaper than using actual drugs, and much more fun too though :D

R.I.P....
Shot of visitors on the last day of my little shop in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V.
Last week the police came to the Rembrandtplein to check the permits of all the street-artists, as they sometimes do, and when they looked at mine, they said that I'm not allowed to show any examples of my work. I had the same issue last Summer, so I went to city hall to have my permit adjusted once again to state that I can show some of my photos, but the friendly man there told me that they've changed the rules, and that photographers can not present any of their work, I am only allowed to stand there with my camera in my hand and offer people to take a photo of them, a very weird idea...
I argued a bit with the guy, but in the end I had to leave without having achieved anything, and with sadness in my heart I had to realize that my little shop has been closed for good by these bureaucrats, so no more sitting in the sun with friends, sharing my photos with the nice folks passing by, no more awesome Summer days spend doing what I love so much...it's sad...maybe tomorrow I'll think of some new way to be out there and try something different for a change, but right now I'm heart-broken and shocked...
That day started awesomely and would have made the books as one of those perfect days where everything seems just right and easy, now not so much anymore...I will be back with something new, but I will never be able to present my photos to the public at my little shop again, an era has ended, suffocated by some mean people who love rules more than their own mamas :(

Amsterdam...
Unedited puddle reflection of the Red Light District in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Some consider Amsterdam to be the city of sin and unholy pleasures, but to those actually living here it's just a beautiful, tiny and loveable village that has a lot more to offer than Sex, Drugs and Rock'n'Roll, those things are mostly reserved for our visitors, while we locals usually stay away from those parts of town that lure people into the Coffeeshops or red windows, but still, sometimes it's nice to hang out downtown and shoot the pretty buildings and all that :)
I've also made a wicked reflection movie of this puddle, please take the time to watch it on my YouTube channel, thank you :)

Unedited puddle reflection of the Dam square in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Usually I would not go anywhere near the Dam square, it's a bit too touristic for my personal taste, but sometimes, after a rain shower, I'll drop by anyway to shoot some wicked reflections of the area, and I have to admit, it's a rather photogenic part of the best city in the world, anything for art :)

Unedited shot of the Amsterdam Central Station area reflected in a puddle. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
This weekend we had perfect conditions in Amsterdam for some wicked reflection shots, so I grabbed my camera and went for a little walk through the city, my eyes on the ground, trying to find that perfect wet spot to shoot...not always an easy task, because I look totally insane, pointing my camera at the ground, seemingly taking photos of the street, and as always, I got a lot of comments and questions, a situation that will probably continue until finally everybody knows who I am and what I do, which should be some time soon :)
I've also made a wicked reflection movie of the Central Station, please take the time to watch it on my YouTube channel, thank you :)

Shot of a bike in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V.
I've always loved bicycles, when I was just a wee little 3 year old Reflectah-boy I learned how to ride them (and soon afterwards, how to ride them without using my hands, way cooler!), and ever since I've been moving through life on a steel horse, never had a car, and hopefully never will! Biking keeps me fit and the planet in good shape, a classic win-win situation, but unfortunately there are still people who think that locking themselves up inside a gasoline-guzzling box with wheels is the better way to get to the shop around the corner, lazy bums :)

Shot of a bike by the Amstel in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V.
The river Amstel is one of my favorite features of Amsterdam and I always enjoy going for a walk there, not just because of the water and the pretty buildings, but also because of the manymany bikes that are evenly distributed all over the place, there's just something about the steely rides that totally appeals to me...luckily, I'd hate to love cars, the most selfish, planet-killing and stupid invention ever, I mean come on, locking yourself into a metal box, burning fuel, just to get to the shop around the corner where you would have been in half the time if you'd used the bike, really, tststs, what were they thinking when they came up with cars? Probably nothing, that's what :)

Unedited puddle reflection of the jail in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Whenever I see the towers of one of the Amsterdam jails, I get this creepy feeling and I can't decide if I feel sorry for those lost souls locked up there, or if I should be happy that all them hardened criminals are off the streets and safely stored behind bars to protect society from them, or both...then again, it seems that being inside a Dutch jail is not the most horrible thing in the world, could be worse, of course I'm glad I'm a free man and don't have to be in there, no matter how 'cozy' it is :)

...Hard Knock...
Unedited puddle reflection of the jail in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Whenever I see the towers of one of the Amsterdam jails, I get this creepy feeling and I can't decide if I feel sorry for those lost souls locked up there, or if I should be happy that all them hardened criminals are off the streets and safely stored behind bars to protect society from them, or both...then again, it seems that being inside a Dutch jail is not the most horrible thing in the world, could be worse, of course I'm glad I'm a free man and don't have to be in there, no matter how 'cozy' it is :)

Rollin Down...
Unedited puddle reflection of Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
I have this dark suspicion that people around the world think that all we ever do in good old Amsterdam is rollin down the street smokin indo, sippin on gin and juice, and that is very far from the reality that we experience in the best city in the world every day, the only folks actually doing that are our visitors who can't believe their luck when they find out that, yes, it's OK to get high while biking around bumping into cards, pedestrians, other bikers, or if you're really unlucky, a tram or taxi, both ruthless species of transportation vehicles that stop for nobody, not even the toked-up, puffing&passing tourists, so beware, get high, but don't get too high (unless you're Snoop Motherf*cking D-O-Double-G, lol), or it might be the last thing you'll ever do :D

These...
Unedited window reflection of the American Apparel shop in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Sex sells, so it only makes sense that our world is plastered with images of scantily clad people (mostly women) that try to make us consume products we don't need and that destroy the planet during their manufacturing process and after they've been disposed off to rot away in a landfill somewhere, but as long as we get to see sexiness while we're slowly killing our world, it's all good...the last thing we'll ever see will probably be some half-naked lady as the world explodes, burning one last hot image on our retinas as they shrink into our heads and our brains detonate with a final 'Boom'...could be worse :)

La Vie...
Slighty edited window reflection of the 'Bellrose' shop in Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing besides some fiddling with contrast and colors, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Life is good, or as they say in French, la langue de l'amour, 'La vie est belle', and that's true. Of course there are situations where things seem unpleasant or weird, but in general, being alive is a reason to be happy, it took Evolution/God gazillions of years/7 days to create the magnitude of unimaginable, fascinating and confusing creatures that populate this planet, and you, yes you, are the result of a trillion unexpected and rather unreasonable coincidences, encounters and actions that you could not reproduce on this scale and with the required precision in another gazillion years/7 days, no matter how hard you tried, so don't worry, be happy, enjoy the ride :)
