About Gideon van Zyl

I started on a little Kodak Instamatic camera when I was quite small and eventually started with SLR photography on my Dad’s old Pentax Spotmatic in the late ’70s.

Photographers like Yousuf Karsch, Annie Leibowitz who have grown up in the age of film and have captured the world inspire me, whereas modern digital photographers and techniques challenge me to always renew what I am doing and how I am looking at things.

    Beautiful capture and reflections.

    Where abouts is it please ??
    Is it near a large town ?
    Easy to get to ?
    Thank you.

  • Hi Richard! I took this photo on a recent visit to the Netherlands. It was taken at an open air museum called “Zaanse Schans” just outside Zaandam. Zaandam is just North of Amsterdam, and is really easy to get to via train.
