About the B4 retouch series:
I browsed my archive for pictures to publish. Some of them are partly retouched but most do have scratches, dust and stains.

A street in the Jordaan, a neighbourhood of Amsterdam. The stairs and doorways of these houses are too small to move big items, so they have a hook to hoist big items through the windows.
As in more cities around the world, Amsterdam had to decide what architecture should replace demolished old houses. The French have a ‘laissez faire’ approach and are quite bold in it. The Grand Projects of presidents (Centre Pompidou, The Pyramid at the Louvre, Grande Arche) are very modern constructions in an old context. And more cities insert modern architecture in old contexts. Is it a success? Basically it is the eye of the beholder who judges success or failure. Here a photo of old meeting new in the Jordaan, a neighbourhood of Amsterdam. LAPC #419 is ‘landmarks and monuments’.
