"That's What I Call A Photo!" is the title of one of the exhibits in the first and largest photo festival display named "Breda Photo 2003" (See the web site: www.bredaphoto.nl.)

Measuring 52 x 42 inches, these are large portraits of residents from Breda and the vicinity. They are comparable to passport photos you take in a photo booth behind closed curtains, but much larger in size.

A special and unique aspect of these large scale photographs is the outside display they create on 69 illuminated information kiosks lit day and night throughout the entire city.

These huge photo displays create city wide recognition for the exhibit.
Commuting to and from work, or driving to the mall, local residents may recognize a familiar face, and surprisingly remark: "Look, a portrait of my neighbor!" or exclaim: "That lady works in my department!"
There are no professional photo models advertising a "new fruit yogurt product of the week," just real people.
The portraits were taken from randomly chosen people on the street and from friends.
Here again are a few photos from the series.
