"Almost Deserted"
© Ron Wardle & © Wil Wardle
A time capsule photograph from my late father’s, estate.
I am not 100% sure exactly where this was taken, other than somewhere in the CBD of Johannesburg in the late 1960’s, just after he arrived for the first time. Maybe someone can help here with a more specific location that I can tag? Quite possibly around the Braamfontein area, simply judging by the location of his other photos capture on this roll of film.
I really love his use of empty space, and also the inclusion of the human figure to give a representation of scale. Something I have been experimenting with the past few years in my own body of work.
