Another image from my recent shoot with Chad Duell. Our light is a medium deep Octa at 45 degrees. It is feathered in front of him, but still provides a bit of light on the light gray background. #duelly #octa #canon5dmarkiii #paulcbuffeinstein #generalhospital #deepocta

I've come here to look for my friend Wojofoto who is a street artist. But he wasn't there at the time. So perhaps better luck next time.
Located at Spuisstraat 199, I think this is a place for freelance artists to express themselves. A number of consecutive shops fronts have been perpetually turned into giant mural space for street artists. I suspect the graffiti scene changes everyday, whenever someone feels like to paint something on top of what's there before.

After buying a Dutch SIM card for my mobile phone near Munttoren, I pressed on with the many agendas I had on the first day in Amsterdam. I wanted to visit a friend who is a graffiti artist on Spuisstraat, visit a vintage jewellery shop on Singel, buy stamps from PostNL, and buy a couple of souvenirs on Raadhuisstraat.
This being my second visit to the Netherlands, I know Amsterdam a little, and all these places are close together.
