Amsterdam Coffee Table Photo Book

15 million
steps of healing

What began as a way to cope became a journey of healing. Through 15 million steps, I captured Amsterdam’s reflections, sunrises, and stillness—small moments that brought me back to life.

my journey of healing beauty and hope.

My name is Aart Jacob (Arjan) Eikelenboom.

In 2020, I was devastated by the long-lasting effects of COVID, which turned my once thriving life upside down. My mind felt clouded with brain fog, and I found it nearly impossible to connect with the world around me.

But in the midst of that darkness, something unexpected happened. I found healing in the quiet, beautiful moments of life—the reflections in Amsterdam’s canals, the calm sunrises over the water, and the peaceful stillness of the city. These small, serene moments brought me joy and gave me the strength to keep moving forward.

What began as a way to cope during a difficult time soon blossomed into a newfound passion for capturing stories. As I continued to explore the beauty of Amsterdam through my lens, my photos began to capture hearts. So much so that a national TV station started featuring my work daily in their weather segments. Seeing my photographs on TV was a surreal experience and a testament to the power of nature and the little moments that can heal us.

"15 Million Steps of Healing: The Amsterdam Coffee Table Book" is the culmination of this personal journey.

It showcases the images that not only marked my recovery but also became a symbol of hope, resilience, and the beauty that exists in the everyday.

Why This Book Matters:

Walking over 15 million steps through the city, I documented each step—each sunrise, each reflection, each quiet moment that helped heal my soul. These photos are more than just images; they’re reminders of the healing power of nature and the small joys that can turn our lives around.

As I look back on my slow recovery and the recognition my photos have received, I’m excited to share this journey with you in a beautiful, high-quality coffee table photo book. This Amsterdam photo book is not just a collection of photographs; it’s an invitation to find peace in the small things, to find beauty in the everyday, and to remember that healing is possible, even when it feels impossible.
