Dumper In The Bush - Photography By Rob Mellin


Dumper In The Bush - Photography By Rob Mellin

Three years ago, when we started this magazine, we decided, that we would honor the work of other great photographers of the past and the present, who have dedicated their time to capture the spirit of the Eastern Cape, by including their images in our magazine.

So far we have shown images by Alice Mertens and Rob Mellin. Today's picture was taken by Rob Mellin in Kwelera in the 1970's.

But really, if you look at it without knowing the date it has been taken - it could have been taken yesterday.
