Jordi from the street

Amsterdam, 18 April 2011.

This is Jordi, one of the professional alcoholics who frequent the Westerkerk Square, alway short of money but not too shy to beg a bit of spare change from the tourists lining up outside the Anne Frank House, waiting for a hour or more to see the world famous Achterhuis...

Not that the staff of the Anne Frank House or their security squat is all that happy to have unkempt, raggedly dressed down and out alcoholics hassling their visitors..."a few coins so I can buy my next can of cheap pilsener, please, my dole money just doesn't cover my thirst, mister, dear lady from wherever you are"...

The ten minutes posing session came fore free though..."I know you don't make much money, mom"...
