  Saturday, Feb 12, 2005 XXX, amsterdam The official symbol for Amsterdam is "XXX." It is on stamped on pavement, buildings, sculptures, garbage cans, everywhere... Perhaps, given the city's liberal tendencies it's a most appropriate symbol. This photo was from my archives and I never really thought anything of it until yesterday. It was almost like, all of sudden it looked good to me. I knew that I had liked the striking presence of the red "XXX" sheild but the rest of the image was bland. A little tweaking and cropping and now I am happy with the final result. |
