The best helmsmen stand on shore [proverb, Dutch: armchair critics always know better]

Photographs that unintentionally became a series. Taken with my uncle's old Yashica A during two events around Amsterdam's IJ river – the SAIL sailing boat parade and the annual pieremachochol* race organised by the Vliegtuin artists' community.

*[Pieremachochel: an odd, dilapidated boat or makeshift raft]

"The Dawn" ("De Dageraad") is a socialist housing complex from 1920, situated in the southern part of Amsterdam. The apartments were meant to house workers and their families, and are still inhabited today.

The architect, Michel de Klerk, stated that "Nothing is beautiful enough for the worker, who has had to live without beauty for so long."

I took this picture with my vintage Agfa Isola, on mid format. Def takes you back in time.
