After sharing my Jordaan Photo Walk on YouTube, I was blown away by the thoughtful messages, curiosity, and kind support from so many of you. It’s clear that there's a growing interest in analog photography — and I’m thrilled to bring that experience offline with a hands-on, analog photography workshop and photo walk through Amsterdam’s Jordaan neighborhood.
