I went to Rotterdam one afternoon (august 3, 2004). The week before I was in Leiden and I was full of courage about street photography after my experiences there. But here in Rotterdam it was more difficult. People were more aware and selfprotective it seems. It also could have been me who was more inhibited. I went back at august 11, took more pictures and it was more relaxed. Anyway, I learned that some some people like to be photographed and others are kind of reluctant. I hope you like the result anyhow...
