Van Der Noort, Leo
Amsterdam
The beauty of Amsterdam makes other cities envious and their tears could fill the canals. Few are able to show its splendour as well as Leo van der Noort. All his photographs tell a story, or even several short stories. Stories that you would normally forget, because they are never recorded. Many photographers look for something big or "impressive, but Van der Noort searches for the citys little freckles. A wedding couple crossing the tram rails. A homeless person looking into a rubbish bin while tourists watch him. Their faces so full of disgust that the rubbish bin man emerges as the cleanest person in the photo. He might have little, but he has much more than the tourists. He's got Amsterdam. Amsterdam / Leo van der Noort Format 26cm x 20cm 400 pages Black and white Photography paperbound 1st edition
