On the street in Amsterdam with an X-Pro1 |  Lodro Rigdzin | Fuji X-Pro1 | Scoop.it


I was able to have an afternoon's worth of relaxed shooting in Amsterdam today, so I thought I'd grab the opportunity. I decided to focus on "tourist" Amsterdam, the area in the old city bordering right on the red light district. This area is completely dominated by cannabis tourism, which is obvious if you look at the type of shops here: either baked goods shops catering to the munchies or shops selling smoking paraphernalia. This area is the venue for stag parties and usually the only part of the city backpacking gap year students experience. Yet it is also one of the oldest and most beautiful parts of the city.
