A COLLECTION OF MEMORIES

A collection of memories from my first trip abroad to the dream cities of Europe. Only through black and white can we really appreciate texture along with the real feeling depicted in these photographs taken from the lifestyle of the people on the streets and on the run, and only then we can appreciate the daily struggles and pleasures which we do not often recognize and fail to take a step back and notice .

This book is a collection of photographs that I tried my best to capture through my lens to the best of my amateur ability. To take a look back even though there isn’t enough time left in the same place for anyone. The best of our memories help us remember the good times by looking through a photograph. These are the memories I would wish everyone could explore through my eyes. By exploring various types of photography like street, architecture, interior, and landscape, I hope to create diversity in displaying the cultures and beauty of a place that feels like a dream but is still a memory.

Some say Amsterdam is a city of Sin, but in truth it is a city of Freedom.

And in Freedom most people find Sin. John Green
