Through to the second year!

Here’s my work of the second semester at Fotoacademy Amsterdam, just before it was reviewed. The commission considered it good enough to enter the second year, so there I go :)

I’ll try to regularly upload the results of my school assignments to my Flickr-account. Check it out for a selection of second semester work.

But first: vacation! From school, that is.

Red Snapper announcement

Snapped an announcement for a 2002 Red Snapper concert in Paradiso. Incidentally, that concert was the first time I heard them. Too bad that it was their final concert (band broke up). Scattered around Amsterdam, you can still find some of these (5 year old!) announcements :)

Results from Mapping Party Amsterdam

The results of last weekends mapping party try-out in Amsterdam are in. It was great fun, and quite productive, even though we had a slow start and a Sunday with hailstorms.

Jip took some pictures.

Almost forgot to mention that this party was sponsored by Func.!

Mapping Amsterdam with Open Street Map

I have finally jumped into the whole Open Street Map thing. Currently I am scratching my own Amsterdam itch. Believe it or not, but Amsterdam was virtually non-existent in OSM, so I started the Amsterdam topic.

The data acquisition is fun to do … biking different detours to work and recording every car ride.

To give you an impression of Amsterdam before and after I started (different viewpoints and renderers):

The people behind OSM are acquiring funds in the Netherlands in order to jump start the community here (currently at about 5 users).

Do you feel like helping out on building a free map of the world? In March we’ll do the first Amsterdam mapping party!

update: nl.wikipedia.org entry added :)
