The fifth edition in the Slices of Amsterdam collection is a special one because it's the only artwork in a horizontal format. I personally love the vertical view, but trying to capture this location in a vertical format just wouldn't do justice to its beauty. I love doing long exposure photography and I love it even more in this location. I'd often go on my way, put my headphones on, crawl into my little photography space and just create different images in this area. This is one of those images that I am very happy with. It's such a historical and culturally rich location in Amsterdam. This neighborhood was constructed in the 17th century and the urban structure of the district follows the original allotment with reclamation ditches of the polder landscape that was created around 1100.

That was a long time ago.

What was also a long time ago is that this area used to be for the common and working people. It was not a very desirable area to live in due to it's lack of development, jam-packed buildings, and unsanitary conditions. Nowadays, it's one of the most popular places to live with one of the highest housing prices in the city.

How times can change.
