A Dutch woman has been photographed at a fairground shooting range almost every year since 1936. The chronological series begins with a 16-year-old girl from Tilburg picking up a gun and firing at the target. Now 92, Ria van Dijk still makes her annual pilgrimage to the shooting gallery. Every time her aim is true, it triggers the shutter of a camera and a portrait of the girl in firing pose is taken and given as a prize. – ON
This series documents almost every year of the woman’s life up until present times - with a conspicuous pause from 1939 to 1945.
The photographs have been collected together in a book, entitled ‘In almost every picture 7’. – ON
