Slightly edited shot of my shadow in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.

Being a wicked Reflectah can be rather challenging at times, the most beautiful reflections and shadows often hide in plain sight, forcing me to assume funny-looking positions in public while being surrounded by hundreds of staring, curious tourists and locals alike, only to get a couple of Interwebs-worthy shots, and I can tell you, if I wasn't such a selfconfident guy, I might have given up on this very small and lovely but lonely niche inside the heart of photography a long time ago...all I want is to take some nice pictures, nobody has ever warned me that this would entail crouching next to wet spots on major traffic ways, or bending up-, down-, or sideways to capture that one shadow snap that would fulfill that glowing desire inside my heart to take the perfect picture, what a Scam, lol :D

Thank God it's Friday! Too bad I'll have to work today and tomorrow! Arrggghhhh!!!

Slightly edited shot of people reflected in a puddle in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1. No editing besides some added contrast, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

Even though we all choose different means of personal transportation, we usually all arrive at the same time, city traffic is a big equalizer that allows only small gains in speed over other participants by throwing rules and regulations at us that eat up all the advantages of traveling, for example, by bike. You can rush through the streets as fast as your legs allow it, but at the next red light, all those cars and lazy bums on their scooters will catch up with you again, and the only thing that consoles me personally while accepting this defeat, is the fact that you can actually see those rolling around in/on mechanized transport vehicles gaining weight as they wait for the green light, they sit there and wait, and the buttons on their pants start popping because they're too freakin' lazy to use their own bodypower to get to where they're going, lol :D

Random shot of stuff sold at a 2nd-hand shop in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.

The other day I went to get something from a shop and somehow ended up wandering around and into this dusty, old-fashioned 2nd-hand store, they had so many cool old things that I couldn't stop looking around, and I eventually bought a big yellow vase for the flowers I never buy, lol. Sometimes we end up doing something else than we had planned, and it can turn out to be an even better thing to waste your time with, think about that :)

Slightly edited selfreflection on a window in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.

I'm a total Nature-freak, I have so many plants in my house and on my balcony, that it looks and feels like a jungle, my preferred natural habitat...well, not really, I don't like wild animals or man-eating insects, so let's say urban jungle. To my utter delight, lately I had to realize that I spend so much time surrounded by plants that some kind of osmosis process has started, converting my body into a new half-human-half-plant lifeform, not an unpleasant experience, as I get to hang around chillaxing most of the time, and looking at my leafy hands, nobody is expecting me to get any actual work done anymore anyways, so I'm mostly being left alone in a corner, working on the final stages of my plantness, and as you can see, rather successfully, I am almost there...please water me every now and then, thank you :D

The Best...

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


It's Monday again, we're riding into a new week that may bring many challenges and obstacles, but it might as well be filled with happiness, sunshine and so many awesome, beautiful and inspiring events, that it might change your life for the better, forever! I guess what I'm trying to say it, anything can happen, and even though we only have a certain level of control over the world around us, starting each day with an open mind and the purpose and intention to make it the best day ever, we can surely give it a push and a nudge in the right direction. And now repeat after me: 'Today is the best day of my life, and I will experience many great things that will enrich my existence and make me appreciate what I have even so much more!' :)


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

2012 seems to be the year of the puddle, it's raining almost every day, we're all still waiting in vain for Spring to start, while the Summer season is already upon us, officially at least, because that thing going on outside can be called anything but Summer. And yes, I should be ecstatically happy that the best city in the world is drowning, puddles everywhere, yay...or not? Or not, because rain water is just one of the many ingredients needed for a proper wicked reflection shot, and with this gray mess that we see every day where the sky should be, there is no way anybody can make this look pretty or cool...I've tried though, in one of the few sunny moments, I hope you appreciate the effort, lol :D

Have a relaxed Sunday, take it easy :)

It's Saturday, it's weekend, it's gray, rainy and cold outside, so I've decided to spend this day in a blissful state of haziness...this entails massive amounts of not-doing-anything-useful combined with utter laziness being incorporated into the day, resulting in an overlordish, retardation-resembling state of wicked, willful uber-relaxation, leading towards a lush, dazed and confused evening, topped of with inhuman hours spend lounging around in bed while realizing that not a single F*ck has been given at all before taking off to dreamland, a perfect day, lol :P

Have a wicked weekend!

Thank...

Slightly edited shot of people in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.

Thank God it's Friday! I am so lucky and blessed that I can stay home today, and enjoy a lazy day, while everybody else has to go to work and slave away, counting the hours until the special time of the week starts. The crazy thing is, we have this new law in Holland for 3 years or so now, where it states that if you ask your Employer if you can work less hours, let's say 36, or 32, instead of the customary 40, they can't say No, unless the whole company depends on your showing up 5 instead of 4 days each week, plus you will receive almost the same salary, after taxes, as you do for a fulltime job, it's only the before-taxes salary that looks a lot less! I seem to be one of the very few people who know about this secret, so I figured sharing it here with you on the Interwebs might inspire some of you to look at their personal situation and to actually go to their boss next Monday and say 'Hey boss, I realized I'll make pretty much the same money working one day less every week, so why don't you do all the work by yourself on Fridays as of now?'. Do it, you know you want to, and it's reallyreallyreally good for you :)

Thank God it's Friday! Have a wicked weekend :)

The giant 'I Amsterdam' letters at the Museumplein are still hugely popular with the visitors of the best city in the world, and I'm always amazed at the joy and fun they are experiencing when they're climbing on top of them and take the mandatory typical tourist shot. There must be literally billions of the exact same pictures featuring this scene, with different people in them of course, spread across storage devices all over this lovely planet, and I am actually considering to offer an online service where you can simply paste your own body into an existing template shot of those letters, that would save people a lot of time and traveling, and they could still admire themselves sitting on top of the best city in the world, lol :D

Europe is drowning, literally, in rain, and figuratively, in debt, it seems that the EURO zone has become Lala-land, where we take all the money we have, and give it to those people who created this whole mess, only to have them burn through our combined life-savings as if it was some kids weekly allowance. We're now being told that we better make sure to take care of our own financial and medical needs for our old days, as the Health system and Pension scheme won't provide anything but hot air to us when we'll need it, regardless of the fact that every month a considerable part of our salary is taxed to finance those exact systems we won't be able to benefit from. A nice setup, I think at no other time in history have we been f***ed over so publicly and completely without any resistance...almost makes me wish I was one of those faceless Moneymasters who is crashing&burning our society for their own personal gain, but just almost, I'm sure they'll rot in Hell for being such ruthless Raiders...or not, seems that being evil pays off, lol ;D

A nice setup, I think at no other time in history have we been f***ed over so publicly and completely without any resistance...almost makes me wish I was one of those faceless Moneymasters who is crashing&burning our society for their own personal gain, but just almost, I'm sure they'll rot in Hell for being such ruthless Raiders...or not, seems that being evil pays off, lol ;D

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

AmsterSam...

Slightly edited selfreflection on my sunglasses in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.

I like sunny days, I think most of us do, but unlike most of us, I don't really like staying in the direct sunlight, I prefer a shady spot from where I can see the fearless sunbathers, offering their medium-rare bodies to the yellow, burning Overlord in the sky, that lately only graces us so seldom with its presence, and I think to myself 'Hmmm, I wonder if those people are made out of Teflon', because I could never do that, even if it wasn't seriously bad for your health, I just overheat too easily. So if you see a bald dude sitting in the shadow, smiling at you while sipping on his cold drink, that's probably me, studying your molecular structur for any visible traces of (C2F4)n (yes, that's the molecular formula of Teflon, hehe) shining through your skin-layers...or you're just a hot chick and I'm checking you out...sorry about that, lol ;D

"Monday, Monday, so good to me
Monday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday mornin', Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me


Monday, Monday, can't trust that day
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be
Oh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me


Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
A-you can find me cryin' all of the time

Hup...


Hup..., originally uploaded by AmsterSam - The Wicked Reflectah.

Random shot of 'Orangeness' in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app.

Its on, today the Dutch team has to win against Portugal in the EURO 2012 to have any chance at all to make it to the next round...things are not looking too promising, I don't know if you remember the game against the Portuguese during the 2010 World Cup, it went down as the match with the most red (4) and yellow (16!) cards ever, it resembled a war much more than a sporting event, let's just hope that tonight will be different, and that Holland can kick their asses, move to the next round, meet Germany in the Final game, and become European Champion, yay :D

An Apple A...

Unedited shot of girls sharing an apple in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.

I had to realize once again what a sick twisted mind I have, when I looked at the pictures I've uploaded today, trying to think of a fitting title for this mini-series, and 2 things instantly popped up in my head, fighting for superiority and the right to accompany todays creative output (if you can call Voyeurshots of innocent girls that, lol ;), both so contrary to each other that I am seriously considering getting professional help, or at least staging an intervention for myself:

1) An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away
2) 2 Girls 1 Apple

The first one appeals to our common sense and tries to remind us that we can combine what's good for us with a little pleasure, because let's face it, apples are delicious little fellas, I eat one each day, and so should you!

The second one, and at this point I'll have to ask minors and those faint at heart to leave the room, the second one is inspired by the horrible, unspeakably disturbing and probably highly illegal (or at least it should be), infamous and really-you-should-not-click-that-link-no-really-don't-seriously-don't-freakin'-do-it!! '2 Girls 1 Cup' video, that catapulted reallyreally bad taste into the consciousness of the Internet-attached world some years ago....I'm sure I'm going to burn in Hell just for mentioning it here, hehehe :)

Anway, I guess my point is, the Mind is a terrible thing to waste, don't even consider googling '2 Girls 1 Cup', have an apple instead :)

Thank...

Slightly edited shot of people reflected in a puddle in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1. No editing besides some added contrast, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)

Thank God it's Friday! Why can't every day be Friday? This lovely feeling of the beginning of the weekend, that makes everybody seem friendlier, nicer and prettier, it should somehow be condensed, bottled and sold, so that we can create this special atmosphere any time of the week. Or we could all just work a lot less and have a permanent flair of free time surrounding us, I'm sure we would all feel much better right away :)

Unfortunately I'll have to work tomorrow, Saturday, but to make up for it, I've been off for the last 2 days, and one of them was even a sunny, beautiful Summer day that I've spent outside, enjoying the vibe, luckily, because today is another rainy, gray shite day :)

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