A year (almost) in Amsterdam

[Joohander]

Hey all, I've been following these forums for a while now and I've been impressed with the community and works that have been produced. That said, let me now make a small contribution by showing some stuff I've got from the last year which I mostly spent in Amsterdam, one of the loveliest and most amazing places I've been. They aren't all from rangefinders but I think it represents my growing love with different mediums to document my love affair with the city. Hope you all enjoy it!

Taken on my first day out and about in the city, I felt as lost as they were.

Olympus E-P1 w/ Nokton 35/1.4

Who could do Holland without some windmills?

Voigtlander R2A w/ 35/1.4

I met my present girlfriend in Amsterdam, nothing beats that I think.

By far my favorite activity in Amsterdam was to head out to a park, sit down and chill out on a sunny day.

Leica M4 w/ Summicron 50/2 DR

One of my favorite photos from Amsterdam, purely for its hilarity and aptness of the windmills.

One of the most beautiful buildings in Amsterdam is the central train station (Centraal Station), but this isn't it - this is a church just outside it and what I see whenever I walk out of the station.

A few of these towers stand scattered around the city.

The most widely used mode of transport in Amsterdam and Holland in general - bicycles.

alstublieff...

btw...girlfriend is an absolute. Girlfriend is girlfriend. Dun say "present" girlfriend, coz it implies (i) you still think about the "past" gf; and (ii) there can be "future" gf...some women sensitive about these things wan hehe

haha thanks, I was slightly unaware of it when I wrote it and noticed when I posted haha. anyway let me just say (as a means of a feeble recovery) that I'm quite sure that she will always be my present girlfriend. present neither precludes her from being the future girlfriend, perhaps she is presently my girlfriend now and something more in the future!? haha

thanks to everyone else too!

the weather was definitely cooler than singapore la! hahaha, as for the c220, i packed my inserts from my domke into a backpack and used it as my daily bag. 2 cameras with me at all times, at least! anyway i cycled around 80% of the time so no worries and yeah i practically shot everything on film because i just prefer what i get from it!
