Photowalk with Alex Tuijnman, Daan van der Zwan, Caspar Gim and Jelte Lagendijk

2023, July 20

Wow today I met a young horde of street photographers. All hungry to shoot in Amsterdam. Alex Tuijnman was so kind to ask me if I would liked to join him and Daan van der Zwan and Caspar Gim for a photowalk. Last minute Jelte Lagendijk joined us after we had our coffee.

Loaded with different cameras (Fuji, Canon, Sony and GR) and lenses towards the Jordaan.

Since June I'm doing these photowalks now and funny enough it looks like a lot of us started around 2020 with street photography. No matter our age or experience.

Maybe that's why there's that kind of sense of setting up some sort of community. Or at least that a new group of street photographers likes to meet up.

Unfortunately I couldn't shoot for too long today and had to go home at 2 pm. But what I will take with me from today is the enthusiasm and the fun we share with each other.

Funnily enough, I mentioned at the beginning of the photowalk that it doesn't matter what you shoot on such a day. Often on the way home you can suddenly see that image you've been hoping for all day. So for me it was true again this time. When I picked up my bike in the underground parking at Central Station, I had a good view of the station that I would not have seen otherwise.

Caspar, thanks also for the facts in Amsterdam. It's a shame that as an "Amsterdammer" I knew so little.

Hopefully see you all soon again and maybe somewhere else! I'm in for it!
