Glad you liked our Amsterdam cover story. I checked the facts in that one and it was enormous fun to work on.
We didn’t post the story online (sorry, you’ll have to read our Sept issue for that) but you can see some great city shots and read comments by our husband-and-wife photographer team Cotton Coulson and Sisse Brimberg in our online Amsterdam photo gallery.
