Over a three-year period, I was commissioned by the mayor of Arcen Velden Lomm and subsequently by the governor of Limburg, Mr Frissen, to photograph a selection of special villagers from Arcen Velden Lomm. Each year, during the New Year's meeting, the exhibition was open to residents and was a unique opportunity to see the result. A committee to which I belonged selected the people to be photographed. This resulted in a special project consisting of single, triptychs and diptychs.
