Visions of Amsterdam | Vibe of The City

I appreciate Amsterdam more with each visit. It’s a privilege to travel and experience a totally different culture. My first discipline is to get a feel for a place so my trusty Lens of choice is my XF18-55mm F2.8-4. This Lens at 18mm gives me my perfect wide visual Frame at 28mm Full Frame.

I love this field of view because it is all about the sense of place, getting in close to feel the vibe and energy of the city.

The images above were created as I went aboard a local Ferry which crosses The River IJ/Amstel. My friend Rico and I were appearing at The Butchers Bar for The Amsterdam Magic Show.

The Amsterdam Magic Show was created by Fritz with a “Z” Alkemeide.

A fine magician and business man. My friend Rico Weekand was tasked with bringing me over to headline The Show and present 50 minutes of unforgettable Magic.

The show was a great success. Fritz, Rico & Myself delivered great magic for the public.

I must confess, I was very tired; traveling and presenting a show on the same day/ evening is tough. Professionals generate themselves and sleep it off.

I was delighted to make some new friends. Abby, Sandra, Omran, Som & Jeffery.

A great end to the day.
