Amsterdam / FOAM

Spent the day in Amsterdam with Aron, Elaina, and Lukas. We walked around the shopping center, 

went to the square, showed Elaina and Lukas the red light district for the first time, and finally visited

FOAM, a photography museum. I fell in love with just about every photo that was on display. 

Edward Steichen, a fashion photographer who shot for Vogue and Vanity Fair in the '20s was

the highlight of my trip to that museum. Every photo was put together so well, complimenting

the models and the products the image was meant to sell. After spending two good hours in the 

museum, the three of us went for some Chinese food, not quite like Asia, but the thought was nice. 

Next we got on a tram and got out at the Vondelpark where we sat on the sturdy branches of a 

willow tree. I felt very much like Pocahontas balancing my way through the branches hoping

not to fall in the water with my camera! It was a lovely day to spend with my brother and new

sister in law, Elaina.
