In 1936 at the age of 16 Ria Van Dijk went to a shooting gallery at a fair in Tilburg, Holland, and at the moment she hit the bulls-eye her photo was taken (that was the prize). She went back every year up until her her 88th year (and beyond?), at which point a book of those photos was published. The only years she missed were during the second world war, 1939-1945.
Witness the aging of Ria, plus the environment, the people, the clothing, and the look of the photos themselves change. Check out a goodly number of the photos here: https://www.lensculture.com/articles/erik-kessels-in-almost-every-picture-7#slide-1
Everyone around her changes while she stays almost the same. I want one of those coats from the earlier photos.
