Living in Amsterdam can become easily a chaotic experience, not because of the density of cultures and the multicultural space that amsterdam offers but because of the density of events that happens around the city space . in one day from morning until evening and night there one person can go and participate to a lot of types of events related to all sorts of creative fields and with a multicultural vibe . I started counting 24 hours of life in this city and all the places where I can go and interact with people and events . So i started making a photo essay with places and people and personal activities that happened in one day .

Hello Marian -- I especially enjoyed your photo essay because i live in a place about as different from Amsterdam as it could be: in the woods, with no human neighbors in sight, on the world's largest freshwater island (Manitoulin). Yet even here, cultural distractions abound. Especially with an Internet connection.
This can be a problem for the creative process, i think. The process is a cycle, like breathing -- first inspiration (openness), then through concentration to expiration (closure), which finishes the process by producing a definite outcome. With all these distractions, concentration is the hard part ...
Yes I think that you are right , concentration is the hardest part of things , there is some need of isolation to be able to take ideas and make them real trough any medium .
