Just came out from visiting the Masters exhibition devoted to Rubens and van Dijk at the Hermitage Museum. It is on days like this, when the air is so chilly and sunny that I am reminded why I love Amsterdam so much. Here’s the view across the Amstel river from one of the bridges.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
