Welcome...

Unedited shot of a girl in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.

It's almost Christmas, and it's getting warmer and sunnier every day, for the end of this week we're expecting temperatures around 20 C or more...normally I would find this somewhat disconcerting, as it is November now, but considering that this years Summer sucked so badly, I think we more than earned a warm Winter, hehe. I am still wearing T-shirts and shorts, it just feels right, and I don't easily get cold, but it seems that a lot of my fellow Amsterdammers take offense in me enjoying the breezy, fresh air to the max, I get lots of confused, amused and angry looks from those wearing their Winter-gear already, almost as if I was shooting them in a puddle, lol. So if you see me wearing the clothes that you wished you could have worn this Summer, don't be mad, you know how they say, don't hate the Player, hate the Game, hahaha :D

Don't Get High...

Unedited shot of a floating Dude in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

Last weekend I went to the city center when I saw this big mob surrounding a dude that seemed to be floating in the air, everybody was shooting him like crazy, trying to figure out how he did it. I'm proud to tell you, I've figured it out: While everybody was looking for some supporting structure that kept him in the air, I saw a giant bag of SuperSkunk stashed away in his costume, clearly indicating that this dude was simply high as a kite, being lifted up from the fumes in his head, induced by Puff-Puffing on da Chronic. I wish more things in life could be so easily explained away as this seemingly magic floating man, hahahaha ;-D

Have a wonderful week :)

I am madly in love with the best city in the world, Amsterdam, and I always feel really sorry for everybody who does not live here. Whenever I see people with their suitcases going to the train station, or to the Airport, to leave for other places, or to go home after a visit, I seriously pitty the fool who does not call this lovely city home. I will never understand how others manage to not live here, I mean how does that work?! How can anybody not want to bike through the narrow, pretty streets with all those beautiful buildings? How does anybody survive not being surrounded by all the wickedly hot Amsterdam babes?! How? And why?! Maybe it's just me, maybe I fell off my bike too often and hit my head in the process too many times, I mean, I know that I'm a bit retarded, but still...anyway, I hope you're having a great time, wherever you are :)

It's weekend again, the sun is shining, it's almost Christmas and the world seems a beautiful, peaceful and lovely place. To celebrate this great state of being, I was planning on writing something funny, witty and inspiring here, but it seems that I have not had enough coffee yet, my brain is still running in lazy dream-mode, and is utterly unable to provide me with anything that would be worth posting on the Interwebs, so I guess you'll have to imagine that I wrote something awesome here, that will inspire and motivate you to have a day as great as the one I am prepared to experience myself today, sorry, lol :)

Enjoy the weekend, be good, have fun :)

Unedited shot of a Pillow Fight on the Dam square in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.

I just woke up and realized, once again, that life is great! 2011 will go down in the AmsterSam history books as one of the greatest years ever, and I can't really express in words how much I realize, appreciate and worship this fact of life, so I've tried finding some pictures in my vast archives that reflect the happiness, gratefulness and childish joy that I am experiencing when I think about all those awesome, inspiring, wicked and lovely things that have graced my life in 2011. I'm not going to bore you with all the details that created this desirable situation, but considering that exactly one year ago I was going through one of the worst periods of my existence, I am once again reminded of the saying that we don't learn from good experiences, only bad ones, and I think that that awful, megacrappy 2010 did its share of making me love 2011 just so much more. Those of you who contributed to this miraculous, beautiful year, you know who you are, and I can't thank you enough for being there and being who you are, I love you guys, and in my mind I am making love to all of you in a feverishly fashion right now. lol. To those of you who made last year such a horrible year I say once again: F U! F U very much, Karma will sort you out, while I'll be up there in the sky, shining like a star, spitting chewing gum into your hair, hahahaha :D

Thank God it's Friday and life is awesome!

I've made 2 movies of the Pillow fight on the Dam too, check them out on my YouTube channel, thank you :)

I've mentioned it manymany times already, I get lots of confused, intimidated and surprised looks when I shoot my wicked reflections, but it seems that the crowd on the Dam square was not in the best mood when I shot this series, you can clearly tell that their facial expressions are beyond those usual reactions I get, maybe it was a bad day for those people, or they were simply overwhelmed by my wickedness. I hope for them that they're looking much happier today, Life is just so much better when you're experiencing it with a smile on your face :)

I've also shot a wicked reflection movie of this puddle, check it out on my YouTube channel, thank you :)

Last weekend I went on a Road trip, and it was really nice, but I was very happy to return to the best city in the world afterwards, it's not that I don't like other countries and cities, but I easily get homesick and every fiber in my body seems to scream "It's been fun, now let's go HOME dude!", and I'm usually more than happy to oblige, there's not much you can do against the wishes and urges of your body and mind. The thing I like most about going away is the coming back part, so I guess I should go away more often, to be able to enjoy this awesome rush of happiness more often, lol :D

Last weekend I went on a Road trip again, this time I took the train instead of my bike, the fabulous Lord Bikenheimer, because the weather forecast said it would rain, but it didn't, so I might as well have biked my way across Europe. It was fun anway, I've met lots of nice people on the way, I ate some strange but declicious food, and I had a great time. Of course I snapped lots of pictures as well, sometimes sneakily, sometimes in the open, and it confirmed once again my believe that if you ask somebody nicely if you can take their photo, most people will be happy to oblige, and usually they even agree to let me post them to the Interwebs, lucky me :)

Occupy Amsterdam - Faces Of The Revolution

Unedited shot of people at the 'Occupy Amsterdam' event at the Beursplein in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.

The 'Occupy Amsterdam' movement seems to receive a lot of sympathy from the Dutch population, the Beursplein is filled to the brim with tents and people, peacefully demonstrating for a better world. I even met the Mayor of Amsterdam there, and asked him what he thought about the situation, and if city hall is considering clearing the square, his reply was that as long as things stay peaceful, there's no reason for that, and that he supports the idea. To entice others to also join the Revolution, here are some shots of the faces of those good folks that made it out to the square yesterday :)

I've made a movie of the Beursplein too, check it out on my YouTube channel, thank you :)

The saga continues, undeterred by rain, hail and wind, the protesters of the 'Occupy Amsterdam' movement are going strong, trying to force the international Money Masters to their puffy knees by putting up their tent-city outside the Stock exchange at the Beursplein and rubbing it in their ugly, capitalist faces that the people are not happy with the way things are going, and that we're not taking any more shit from those rich bastards sitting on top of the system like a cherry on a pie. We want change, we want a better world, we want to end this unfair situation where a few guys in suits run the world, and the masses are left behind, only useful when the banks and corporations need to be bailed out again with billions of tax euros. Did they really think they could get away with it in the long run? Did they really expect the Sheeple to take one beating after another without finally resisting? I guess they did, because they're trying to continue as if nothing has happened, as if we're all just a bunch of retarded, weed-puffing clowns that can easily be ignored...and yes, we are a bunch of retarded, weed-puffing clowns, but we're not going anywhere, we're here to stay, it's the final curtain for you $$$-loving, people-hating fat cats, hahaha :D

Thank God it's Friday and there's a Revolution going on!

I've made 2 movies of the action on the Dam too, check them out on my YouTube channel, thank you :)

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

Unedited shot of a biker in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Sony HX1. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

I can never get enough of the looks people shoot my way when I'm doing my wicked puddle thing, they just can not wrap their minds around the fact that there's a grown man sitting next to a puddle, pointing his camera to the ground, and that's a good thing, because it allows me to capture their irritated, unbelieving, surprised and often amused faces in the water. What always amazes me is that they're actually looking into the puddle, and not at me, because then you'd see them looking up, and not down...so thank you puddle people, your assistance in the making of these wicked shots is more than appreciated, too bad you're always biking by so fast, otherwise I'd thank you in person, lol :)

I've also shot a wicked reflection movie of this puddle, check it out on my YouTube channel, thank you :)
