In Amsterdam, people come and go all the time. Regardless the duration or the purpose of their stay, the city is however happy to have them. And they are happy to be here as well – that`s for sure.

Having said this, it`s easy to understand why I like so much to take photos of Amsterdam`s residents – long time or short time. I simply love to see how the city makes  people feel at ease, relaxed and happy!

It hasn`t been too long since I told you the story of Elena, a short term resident of Amsterdam who, in only two months, grew to totally love the city she had otherwise found very hard to understand at the beginning. The photos I took of her on the streets of Jordaan, shortly before her return to the USA, are proving this.

Now it`s time to show you the effect that Amsterdam had on two nice ladies living in Paris, who came to the city for a short stay (one of them) and for a relatively longer stay (the other, which I was meeting for the first time).

The simple fact of remembering what a wonderful time we`ve had walking down those sunny streets a couple of days ago makes me very happy. Because I do love to share Amsterdam with all those who have the same beautiful feelings for this city!
