Amsterdam Exposed by David Wienir

May 1, 2018 by DaveLeave a Comment

Journalists will tell you that persistence often pays off. Just before the turn of the millennium in Amsterdam a young American became fascinated by the city's well-known red light district. Worlds away from the San Fernando Valley cul-de-sac in which he grew up he became fascinated by the ladies of the night. Not from the perspective of wanting 15 minute thrills - but rather to dig deep into their stories, hopes and dreams and the realities of … [Read more...]

Curacao, One of my Favorite Islands in the Caribbean

December 25, 2017 by Dave24 Comments
