[Gent], Medium, [2011]. 173,[3] pp. B./w. plts with photos by Jef Van Eynde. orig. hardcover (h.cloth). 8vo. Signed and dedicated by the author. Text in English. - For many years, photographer Jef Van Eynde regularly visited the city of Ostend with his camera. He photographed places and times in a way that Christopher Isherwood described in his novel Goodbye to Berlin (1939): "I am a camera with its shuter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. [.] Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed." Many of the buildings, places and people in Jef Van Eynde's photographs are no longer part of the city of Ostend. But they were developed, carefully printed, fixed. [Back cover]
