Photo: Harald van de Goot on Queen's Day
« 2 of 8 »

On Queen's Day in April, vendors and locals drag onto the street everything they want to sell," says photographer Cotton Coulson. "In the case of Harald van de Goot, this works fine because he owns one of the best antiques stores in the city, Prinsheerlijk. In this image, he's celebrating the day and also staying warm by drinking the famous orange liquor called deKuyper. It tastes like a bitter orange schnapps. Van de Goot has the true Amsterdam spirit. He's friendly, outgoing, and witty toward all who come to his store. Even if you're not in the market for antiques, you should stop by and say hello."
