A Woman's Life Since 1936, As Captured By A Shooting Gallery

sharp_yet_blunt [Edit] [Delete] 05:16, 11 October '10

A woman finds herself at a shooting gallery. She wants to shoot. If she hits the target, a picture of her will be taken. She hits. That was 1936. She did the same thing almost every year after that.

Her name is Ria van Dijk and she started making trips to the shooting galleries when she was 16. Even at 88, she continued her tradition, getting a photograph taken every year. The photographs were collected by Erik Kessels and Joep Eijkens in a book called In Almost Every Picture #7. It's an amazing series, not only for her dedication, but to be able to take a looking glass into all the different eras she's lived in.
