AMSTERDAM #2 - Stoner

For the second part of Alien-Local photo shoot I chose a green color themed outfit, covered with heavy leather coat. I heard dutch people don’t like impressing with their couture, so it had to be toned down to something more wearable, but still grungy, comfortable and suitable for a Weed theme. This way I could freely perform as a constantly-falling-man figure, without stress of getting dirty or soaking wet. It occurs, there was no reason to worry - streets of Amsterdam are as clean as my kitchen. And, unless there’s some dancing on the table on Friday night, my kitchen is squeaky clean.

Clean streets with beautiful greens, growing out of every house entrance, was just one among many things, that changed my mind about the city. The second one was Local people. People who think. Think about what matters - less pollution and more art; what is best for them and the new generation - sex-ed on TV and exercising together in the parks; what is OK and what is not - discrimination, bus driver, saying “Hi” through a speaker, straight men holding hands to support gay rights...

Nowhere have I somewhere seen such a creative approach towards architecture as well - the small area next to Cafe de Ceuvel, made out of unused barge ships, transformed into studios, is worth visit alone. And the tiles all over the city... Beautiful ornaments, decorated entrances, floors and ceilings. I am a weird maniac of small things, so we just couldn’t leave the photo shoot without taking one snap next to a deep-blue tile puzzle.

"It appears, decorative tiles are hard to find in a city center nowadays!”, - photographer Melanie giggled, as we keep walking for over a half an hour, looking for the perfect ones.

Not sure was it a fact, that me, as a non-smoker, smoked a whole cigarette of strong tobacco, or was it really a friendliness in the air, that left me with a longing feeling after we separated. I miss you, Amsterdam, despite your terrible language and high prices. Please forgive me for everything incorrect I was thinking about you.

Sincerely Yours, Alien.

On Saturday, the Yankees officially announced that the 35-year-old slugger will open the season on the injured list due to recurring issues with both elbows.
