Buurt op straat (neighborhood on the street)

Photographer Peter van de Wijngaart has been renting a bakfiets (big old-fashioned dutch cargo trike) from us each week or so for months. I just figured he used the bakfiets to carry his equipment like a number of other Amsterdam photographers do.

He then creates and photographs improvised “rooms” on the street. They’re eerie but somehow also intimate and cozy. Have a look for yourself:
