Size Guide

These are studios which I photographed in the townships of Cape Town around 1999.

The red chair belonged to Dumile Mbebe.

Dumile photographed everything that could fit into his shack: bridal couples, injuries for insurance, make-ups, break-ups, travelers and locals etc. 

We lost touch, but I was determined to help Dumile produce a book on all his work. 

On a cold day I happened to meet him at the local laboratory, we embraced and I outlined the plan. He paused, took a step away from me, and said, 'I burned all my negatives on the weekend. I ran out of space.'
