1977: portraits sleep-in Amsterdam 13

            young love?

In 1975 and 1976 I worked at the Amsterdam sleep-in, then on the Rozengracht, just around the corner of my house. The sleep-in was an initiative of the city after it forbade young tourists to sleep in the Vondelpark open air. For a few guilders they could now get a place with a bunk bed, some simple foodstuffs and light alcoholic beverages. Their marihuana or hash (Amsterdam's main attraction, both then and now for these kids) they had to get elsewhere but nobody bothered them if they wanted to smoke it in the sleep-in. 
In 1977, I didn't work there anymore but regularly visited friends who did still work in the sleep-in, now established in an old factory on the Looiersgracht. One day I shot some rolls of b&w film, portraying these young tourists: too late  for the hippy generation of the sixties,too early for the punk generation of the future. 
After having them developed I never printed these pictures. So when I rediscovered them in my negatives collection recently they were totally new to me. Needless to say, I was surprised at what I found and will post more of them here over the next several weeks.
