Her Works
In 2000, Borsjes took part in the writing of photo history in the Dutch project “Fotomonument 2000” about the daily life of Dutch inhabitants. Her subject was city people with their bikes. Out of 6000 photos, one of hers was chosen for the front cover of the book "Kijk ons” (Look at Us).
In addition to various exhibitions, Borsjes photos' have been published in several books and in ten different magazines (local magazines as well as SPITS, Traditie (‘Tradition’) and Dvoice, the last three with a national range).
'World Citizens of Amsterdam' is the title of both this photograph and the event at which it was taken on 6 June 2010. Initiator and lead photographer: Marjan Borsjes. Central figure in this picture is interim mayor Lodewijk Asscher.
In 2007, Dutch media announced that Amsterdam had been declared the most multicultural city in the world, with citizens of 177 different nationalities (out of a total of 194).This was the spur to organizing a celebration that would gather representatives from as many of these countries as possible, culminating in a group photo taken by Marjan Borsjes.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them. They have only been read as the multitude read the stars, at most astrologically, not astronomically.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
