As we start of the new year, many of us make resolutions and grand plans of what we would like to achieve. And yes, I do the same, as there are always a couple of things that I’d like to do better.
One of these is to spend more time catching up with my photography; as there are literally thousands of photos that I have taken and not done a single review or edit on, the goal is to put a significant dent into that backlog. I still have to figure out how I will measure this, as it will be hard to recognize progress without a decent metric.
So here’s a taste from the project that I’m cleaning up right now (and over the next week or two)…

Yes, this is one of those typical Amsterdam shots from a canal tour boat, as we just came out of the Keizersgracht (Emperors Canal) and got a view down the Brouwerijgracht (Brewery Canal). As Kris, my wife, and I arrived in Amsterdam a day ahead of time before our Rhine cruise (great way to get over jet lag), we spent part of our afternoon touring the center of Amsterdam; there’s no better way to do that than on a canal tour.
A simple shot with my iPhone 13 Pro Max with a little touch up, as it was indeed a gorgeous day in Amsterdam.
Lots more coming from the Rhine cruise in the coming weeks!

Happy memories! We went to Amsterdam for our honeymoon in 1991, my first time out of the country and I was so excited as I had a PASSPORT!! We went back in 1993, my first flight and stayed at The Hotel Eden which overlooked the canals. Great shot Frank. Happy New Year.
That’s a great memory for you! We stayed in the Victoria, which was amazing!
We found the people lovely on both trips.
