It's not unusual to have photographs of yourself taken every year. 
But in the case of Ria van Dijk it is, because she's in the exact 
same pose in each of the pictures - shooting a target. The 
92-year-old from Tilburg, Holland has been going to funfair shooting 
galleries every year since 1936, and has won the prize every single 
time - a photograph of herself shooting.

Shooting galleries at fairs are set up in such a way that when the 
target is hit, it triggers the shutter of a camera. The result is a 
photograph in which the viewer is in the position of the target. The 
picture is the prize that participants win for their efforts.
