As I mentioned in a recent blog post, I undertook a cool photo project in 2021. I endeavored to take at least one new, interesting photo every day, whether I was in the mood or not. Being forced to think about photography every day definitely opened my eyes to photographic subjects and opportunities that I definitely would have passed by…
I decided to stroll to Fotografiska to sit and drink tea, and read a book. It’s too cold to walk around comfortably and take photos, so I usually look for indoor activities (museums, bookstores, cafes, etc.) However, the cloudy, gray, cold atmosphere led to a few nice photographic opportunities, especially as I strolled through Madison Square Park, and so I…
The Amsterdam Forest is huge! It’s 2500 acres, which is about three times the size of Central Park in New York City. The place is famous for all it has to offer. There’s an area called De Bosbaan, which is a rowing course, for people who do recreational and competitive rowing. There are ponds for swimming, a man-made beach, camping…
Amsterdam is a great museum city, and going to the different museums is by far my favorite activity when I’m there. I like photography, and I always make it my business to stop by the two photography museums, FOAM and Huis Marseille. If I’m lucky, some of the other museums will also have a photography exhibit.

Here’s the last installment of this three-part post of the best/my favorite photos from my visit to Amsterdam in 2021. It’s a pretty diverse collection.
Continuing from the last blog post, here are 25 more of my favorite photos from my recent Amsterdam visit.
It started exactly a year ago. I wanted to improve my technical skills as a photographer, and my photo editing skills as well. Although I’m constantly reading books and watching videos about photography, there really is no substitute for just getting out there and shooting, shooting, shooting. I read an article that was emailed to me by the iPhone Photography…
Over the past few years, I’ve gotten very into photography, and even though I currently live in a city with an endless supply of interesting photographic material (New York City), I get completely mentally recharged when I travel. Amsterdam inspires me like few other places. I took over 4000 photos when I visited. Although I am a hobbyist, I am…
I spent the month of August, 2021, in Amsterdam, and I got very lucky with the museum exhibits. I love photography, and I always visit FOAM and Huis Marseille, the two photography museums in Amsterdam. This time, in addition to these two museums, I got to see two great photography exhibits at other museums – the Fred Stein exhibit at…
Regular readers of my blog know that I like street photography, and that last year I purchased a camera that was designed for the street: the Ricoh GR III. Street photographers rave about this camera for several reasons, the main ones being the small size, the super sharp images it produces, and the image settings (particularly the black and white…
