The Online Photographer. By Jabu Makhoba
Art, reality (witnessed) pictures. Created art based on simplified, large-small-format, mixed colors but black/white and effects-dominated photographs. The world, in general, reflected and cerebral, with pictorial means simplified in order to create a kind of elemental impact. Rothko and Newman, among others, spoke of a goal to achieve the sublime rather than the beautiful, back to the heroic vision in opposition to a calming or comforting effect.

The story of rubbish collectors, impoverished individuals and families who have chose to accumulate all recyclable rubbish and scrap in exchange for money. Some have left their homes in hopes for a better life in the CBDs of Jo'burg. They wake up everyday, in cold mornings to dig and crater every Jozi's household mobile bins and landfill sites or waste rubble, in search for rubbish. These individuals are encouraged by the little amount they obtain from a number of recycle centres around Johannesburg:
