Amsterdam

Here are a few shots from my recent trip to Amsterdam. The studio trip to Madrid was followed by each of us parting ways to analyze other European cities. What we were looking for was titled "urban conditions" and described as instances where the systems of the city reveal themselves either through collisions, avoidances, or negotiations. Besides a plethora of hookers and marijuana, I was able to meet up with my old college buddy Jan who now resides outside of London.
Amsterdam is one of the most picturesque cities I have ever visited. The canals provide an open space and axial framing that makes you feel like you're walking the urban version of an English garden.
