Willem Frederik Hermans (1921-1995) geldt als een van Nederlands belangrijkste schrijvers, maar daarnaast was hij ook fysisch geograaf en fotograaf. Die fotografie beoefende hij aanvankelijk als hobby, uit verveling, of als zijn andere werk niet opschoot, maar het groeide uit tot een passie die hem nooit meer losliet. In 1957, toen zijn roman De donkere kamer van Damokles niet wilde vlotten, overwoog hij ernstig om zich te laten omscholen tot fotograaf. Hij mat zich de firmanaam "Persfotobedrijf W.F. Hermans" aan en ging in de leer bij Nico Jesse, van wie hij ook een oude Leica overnam. Daarmee sloeg hij fanatiek aan het fotograferen. Uiteindelijk kreeg de Leica een sleutelrol in zijn roman. Hermans' foto's zijn doortrokken van de visie van de schrijver en de intense blik van de geoloog, die in ieder landschap de onderliggende structuren herkent en constateert dat alles onherroepelijk in het teken staat van verval. Maar naast de beelden van verwaarloosde huizen en afgebladderde affiches valt ook een zachter onderwerp op. Hermans fotografeerde veel mensen, gewoon op straat, en opvallend veel kinderen. En niet in de laatste plaats ontzettend vaak zichzelf. Voor dit boek werd het gesloten archief-Hermans eenmalig opengesteld. Piet Schreuders en Bram Oostveen maakten een nieuwe selectie uit ruim vijfduizend zwart-witfoto's en tienduizend kleurendia's. Het is de eerste publicatie van foto's die Hermans niet zelf samenstelde. De meeste hier getoonde beelden zijn nooit eerder gepubliceerd.

"With a preface by Mark Blaisse, author of Before They Passed Away, this book picks out one street in 200 different cities across the 7 continents. By means of infographics and a short text, the street becomes a symbol for a culture, a country in its entirety. Seven years of travel were needed to make this book. With a focus on detailed street knowledge, this is the perfect gift for travelers and photography enthusiasts alike"--Publisher's description. 200 countries; one street each; seven years of travelling and collecting photos, stories, facts and figures about each country. This is not just another photography book. It reveals everything that a street means to society: education, wisdom, youth, experience, happiness, stories, food, and so much more. This is the raw material of life, drawn directly from the experiences of the Belgian photographer Jeroen Swolfs. Seeing the street as a unifying theme, he travelled in search of that one street in each place - sometimes by a harbour or a railway station - that comprised the country as a whole. Each stunning image conveys culture, colours, rituals, even the history of the city and country where he found them. Swolfs sees the street as a universal meeting place, a platform of crowds, a centre of news and gossip, a place of work, and a playground for children. Swolfs's streets are a matrix for community; his photographs are published at a time when the unique insularity of local communities everywhere has never been more under threat.

"Artist Tom Barman (°1972, BE), known as a musician (dEUS, Taxiwars) and film director (Any way the wind blows), proves to be a gifted photographer as well. On tour he started experimenting with his camera during dead moments waiting for his next performance. Photography turned out to be a perfect way of exploring a city and creating at the same time. 'Everything else i do is o time-consuming and involves many people. Photography is fast and straightforward. It offers me instant gratifcation for a change'. This entanglement of speed an directness is reflected in the title of the book: Hurry up and wait. Barman creates intuitively and depicts whatever catches his eye, be it candyfloss, a detail of a scratch or his own shadow. The seductive images give us a glimpse of his personal story. Barman surrenders to his succulently coloured, eclectic world."--
