Hey, we are Anne-Marie & Hans van Zanten from The Netherlands.
We met each other in 1981 and still together in love. This shoot is taken in Utica, Illinois, VS. There was a cozy winefestival with Illinois winefarmers. Sorry, the wether and the soil in Illinois seems not optimal for grapes to florish! Music on the contrary was great.
Besides we love wine we also love shooting pictures. Anne-Marie passionate shoots our kids and 5 grandchildren. She is composing wonderfull photobooks about our familylife.
I carry around a camera from my 16th and never have been without. As former grafic designer photo’s were a very usefull and instrumental element for me. It’s just now, being retired, that I feel the need to awake the artistic possibilities waiting to emerge from within. Let’s see what it brings. Your comments are welcome!
My Time Out Notes
I love writing little stories as chaperonne for my photo’s, like about that lovely breakfast at Cobenhagen in an artist coffeeshop. I publish in Substack (@hansvanzanten). But you can read first-hand when you sign-in for the Time Out Notes. And yes, don’t forget to see my shop page. Your wall will love it.
