In a nutshell

Welcome to my personal photo diary. My name is Rachel James and I am an American photographer living in the Netherlands.

Started in 1998, under different names and domains, aandedijk.com is the on-going documentation of the simple, banal, everyday scenes that make up Dutch daily life.

Dutch 101

Aan de dijk is a prepositional phrase in Dutch. You pronounce it phonetically as on duh dike. In a sentance, you would use it to refer to where something is located.

Tools of the trade

Photographs on aandedijk.com are taken with a Nikon F100, Leica M6, Polaroid SX-70 Alpha and Rolleicord. I am pretty much true to Fuji, but I never pass up a sale on Kodak Portra.
