I saw your request for pictures that trace Dutch "DNA" in NYC. I actually started making pictures on the theme "Holland in New York" some 1.5 years ago, after I had moved to Boston, MA. Every time I visit New York I look for sights that document the Dutch history of Manhattan, as well as present-day Dutch influence.

Just a few examples:
- Amsterdam Avenue
- Tulip "Prinses Irene" as spotted in Central Park in April 2007.
- Construction of Ben van Berkel's first major American builing in TriBeCa.
- Holland Tunnel
- New York licence plate "REMBRNDT"
- Amsterdam Billiard and Bar on 11th Street
- Heineken billboard at Penn Station: "Born in Holland. Raised in NY".

Best,
