As for my camera tax refund, I’m still waiting. They finally responded from Amsterdam saying that they transferred the money, but so far I haven’t heard from my bank. I guess I should know now how that saying goes “The check is in the mail!”

I tried a little 16x12 study today of some bikers in Amsterdam. When we were there, one bright sunny morning I shot these people on their way to work and thought it would make for a cool painting. I liked the back light effects and the little girl on the book rack of the front bike. If it turns out I wouldn’t mind doing a larger version of it, maybe a horizontal piece.
