The Naked Reflectah

Unedited shot of myself and a borrowed cam, reflected in a mirror in Amsterdam. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

This Friday you can meet me in person at the 'ABC Treehouse' in the Voetboogstraat 11 for the grand opening of the 'MultiCulti'* photo exhibition, from 5:00pm - 7:00pm, free entry. There'll be drinks and we are also very proud and excited about the fact that our good friends from ArchiChef agreed to supply us with some of their super-delicious Design-food for the opening, yay :))

If you ask me nicely, I might even streak the crowd, once I'm drunk enough, hahaha ;-D

* Please note that the 'MultiCulti' show is part of GRID 2010, 4th International Photography Biennial, and of course the 'AmsterSam World Domination Plan'!

Reflections of Amsterdam - Leave...

Slightly edited shot of people at the Spuiplein in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing besides some playing around with contrast and saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

Yesterday I went downtown to shoot some new wicked reflections, the weather was perfect, lots of rain, lots of crazy wicked light and manymany people in the streets, watching me doing my thing, wondering out loud why this dude is sitting next to a puddle, waving a camera at it, and I saw some of them standing behind or besides me, trying to shoot me secretly, but I just splashed them with dirty puddle water and kicked them in the shins with the front wheel of my bike, lol ;-D

Nah, I didn't, I'm a nice guy, I explained to them what I was doing, gave them the address of my website www.amstersam.com and took some shots of them as well, just the way it should be :)

Unedited shot of bikers at the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

Today is a lovely, sunny day in the best city in the world and I'm going to make the most out of my free time by grabbing my good old C905 mobile phone, my Panasonic, and my latest Gadget, a tinytiny HD video camera that I'm still trying to figure out, and shoot some pictures and movies. HD is a new world for me and I am not sure yet if I like it, I think it's a bit like changing from records to CDs, it's just a whole different thing that you either love or hate...to be able to properly compare my regular movies with the HD films, I've shot the same puddle with both cams, you can see the results on my YouTube page...have a nice weekend, enjoy the sunshine, rain, or whatever you're being served with today, it's all good :))

Slightly edited shot of myself reflected on my latest toy, a tinytiny HD video camera. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing besides some fiddling with contrast and saturation :)

As you might know, I like Gadgets and I also like showing off the new stuff that I purchase right here, mostly they're tools necessary to assist me on my way towards realizing the noble goals of the 'AmsterSam World Domination Plan', a cause that you should start supporting some time soon, as one of its main rules is that if you're not with us, you're against us (hey, what can I say, I learned from the best, lol ;)), and those opposing my stern, yet caring World Domination Desires shall get to know those sides of me that we all prefer to keep hidden in the dark corners of my being, and even though it'll probably hurt me more than them, my iron fist will slam down and crush those fools...oh, sorry, I got carried away there, hehe...what I meant to say was, check out the first puddle reflection movie I shot with the HD cam and compare it to the movie shot with the regular cam, and let me know which one you prefer, thanks! Have a wonderful weekend :)

Today I feel a bit weird, I've slept very long but not very well, woke up at 4:20 (lol!!) in the night and couldn't get back to sleep anymore, because the last living Mosquito in the Netherlands kept circling around my head, now I'm sitting here, trying to wake up with lots of coffee and ciggies, glad and happy that it's weekend for me already and that I don't have to go to work, looking forward to doing relaxed, fun things in the next 3 days, and of course preparing for the opening of my next photo Exhibition at the 'ABC Treehouse', it's called 'MultiCulti' and all the details are below, hope to see you there :)

Reflections Of Amsterdam - Iam Tired...

Unedited shot of the giant 'Iamsterdam' letters at the Museumplein in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

OK, OK, this is the last post with pictures of those darn giant 'Iamsterdam' letters, at least for the next year or so, I can't see them anymore and I voluntarily leave them to the tourists to climb on them, crouch inside of them, stand in front, next or between them, and take those always identical vacation shots of themselves with (probably) Amsterdam's most viewed landmark. I'm sure if city hall would have known how popular these babies will be, they would have thought of a way to charge people for having their photo taken with them, that's just how they roll, hehe :)


Check out the wicked reflection movie I've also made of the tourists shooting the letters on my YouTube page!

Slightly edited shot of the shadows of myself and the giant 'Iamsterdam' letters at the Museumplein in Amsterdam. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing besides some messing with contrast and saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

Of course being at the Museumplein and watching the tourists take their pictures on top of the giant letters, I could not resist snapping some shots of the shadows on the backside...a bit less suspicious and obvious than kneeling in front of them next to a puddle, the tourists really had a great time trying to figure out what I was doing, and I'm sure lots of them shot me shooting them :)

Almost weekend!

...Shadow

Slightly edited shot of the shadows of the giant 'Iamsterdam' letters at the Museumplein in Amsterdam. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing besides some messing with contrast and saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

Of course being at the Museumplein and watching the tourists take their pictures on top of the giant letters, I could not resist snapping some shots of the shadows on the backside...a bit less suspicious and obvious than kneeling in front of them next to a puddle, the tourists really had a great time trying to figure out what I was doing, and I'm sure lots of them shot me shooting them :)

Almost weekend!

Reflections Of Amsterdam - Iam(sterdam)...

Unedited shot of the giant 'Iamsterdam' letters at the Museumplein in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

As you might have noticed already, my puddle pictures lately often contain leaves, hinting at the end of the Summer and the unstoppable approach of the colder Seasons...I'm really looking forward to Christmas already, the lights, the smells and of course the gifts, the food and the quality time spend with loved ones...is September too early to start about Christmas?! Not really, I guess, since it's almost Spring again and the birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees will start their old game again :-))

We..., originally uploaded by AmsterS@m - The Wicked Reflectah.

Unedited shot of tourists posing with the giant 'Iamsterdam' letters at the Museumplein in Amsterdam. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

For a change no reflection, I figured if everybody takes their photo with the letters the way they are, unreflected, I might as well give it a try and see what that looks like. I've put the camera on the ground for a nice low angle and the sun was shining in my face, so I could not see what I was shooting (as is often the case with my puddle pictures too, due to the way I take them, I usually can't see the display and have no idea what's going on, I just keep pushing the shutter button until I feel that there are enough good ones :) but I think these turned out nicely...thank you my dear tourists, for posing for me, hehe :)

Have a good week!

Reflections of Amsterdam - Iamsterdam Generations

Reflections Of Amsterdam - Iam...

Unedited shot of tourists at the giant 'Iamsterdam' letters on the Museumplein in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Panasonic DMC-FZ8. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

I just love those giant letters and I've taken many shots of them in the last years, but not as much as they tourists love them...there is a constant stream of visitors posing in front, inside or on top of the letters for their vacation shots, always making me wonder how many millions of identical Amsterdam photos are being admired around the planet by the friends and families of those posers once they come back home. And I bet not a single one of them is a wicked reflection, proving once again that if you want things done right, you'll have to do them yourself, hehe :)

Have a nice, relaxed Sunday, only do things today that will help you gain Equilibrium of your soul!

AmsterS@m Exhibition:
From October 1 - October 30 you can see some of my wicked reflection photos at the 'MultiCulti' exhibition at the 'ABC Treehouse' in the Voetboogstraat 11, Fridays – Sundays, 1PM-6PM.
('MultiCulti' is part of GRID 2010, 4th International Photography Biennial)

I've made a wicked reflection movie of this puddle too, you can nicely see those 2 boys climbing around and posing for the camera, check it out on my YouTube page!
