teamwork, a photo from Noord-Holland, Sud

Photographer's Note

Growing up in Amsterdam there are a lot of things you can do as a teenager.
There are a lot of pubs, discos, movies coffee shops and coffee shops
The last kinds of coffieshops are the places where they not only sell coffee (you can buy there also other things) like soft drugs

Don’t miss understand me I’m not promoting drugs here but its part of Amsterdam too.

The shot here is a real team work
One is rolling up the filter
One is mixing the tobacco with the Marijuana
And one is rolling it up all together

Wow, what a capture! Very good journalism, and I don´t see this as promoting - it is just facts of life.

A great capture, Ishai. Unfortunately it is a part of Amsterdam, not the best part, but fortunately, you got a great shot out of it.
Very well seen and captured.

Good shot, educative and funny ; I also don't see it as a promoting, but if it was would it be worse than the official hypocrisy of financial and political lobbies ? Thank's for sharing and bravo.

Even without mentioning the drugs, what I regret, the photo is sharp and clear colored nicely cropped to the target of daily life of young people. I like the idea of sitting them on this stairs.

Hi Ishai;

I have to laugh looking at this shot and your title, reminds me of my childhood. Not that I partook in such activities, but I knew plenty of people who did- and this scene reminds me of those days.
I think you are fully justified in posting this photo as a shot of daily life (especially in Amsterdam! haha). Even back in Canada, this is a very common scene.
And in my opinion, anyone who would criticize you for posting such a shot, unfortunately has their eyes 'closed' to the real world. "What can I say, I believe in free speech".

Good shot, and keep up the good work!

Well...what can I say...this is reality. Nice colors and composition. I like the busy bottom and easy top. The pressure in the picture is well-applied.
