Amsterdam Day 4: WPPD

Amsterdam Day 4: WPPD

Day four of our trip was Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. Inge and Alex organized a really great day! We started out at Dam Square and meandered our way around the city, eventually ending up in the most wonderful place: A jenever bar called In de Olofspoort. If I hadn’t known Inge I would have never known to try this wonderfully delicious drink! I ended up buying a bottle of Chocolate Mint to take home. After our drinks we wandered through Dam Square to shoot some pinholes of the carnival rides.

Here are the photos I took. All pinhole photos shot with my Zero 2000 and Ektar 100 film. Click the thumbnails for details!

Garbage everywhere.

Rafael and Alex both have great blog posts about the day. You should check them out!

          No way!! We were there the last week of April. It’s weird that we were there at the same time! So sad that we missed each other! I need to keep up on reading blogs more, dammit!! You must’ve had such a great time! My husband and I would love to spend and extended amount of time in Europe somewhere..
