Shot during the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk, 2018. This is Freddy, the head honcho at the YMCA in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. where he graciously allowed us onto the roof of the establishment.

Unfortunately, after the walk, all my camera gear was stolen from the restaurant where we gathered for brekkies, and so I find myself with only my phone for pictures at the mo.

Sunrise view of trains at the main Johannesburg Station (a.k.a. Park Station) marshaling yards lined up ready for the Sunday journeys. This morning's activities with Joburg Photowalkers were unfortunately marred when two of the group were mugged and robbed of their photo gear just as we were making our way off the flyover. Fortunately, the police were reasonably close at hand and the gear was recovered in short order. However, it was a stark reminder that in Johannesburg, crime lurks around every corner, and you cannot be too careful.

"Almost Deserted" by 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.

Former steam driver, Charlie McClean was 68 when this picture was taken in April 1976 in the Germiston scrap lines. He is pictured in front of “16C” class locomotive No. 815 that he used to drive while at Braamfontein Depot, Johannesburg. Charlie had been associated with steam for over fifty years starting as a cleaner, and progressing through fireman to driver, taking charge on occasions the prestigious Blue Train.

And thanks to Les Pivnic, I learn that Charlie passed on in June 1981.

25NC 3472 crossing the gravel road between Fouriesburg and Sheridan on 28 May 2006.

By this stage 3472 was a Reefsteamers lease/lend engine based in Germiston. She had been transferred there from Beaconsfield in 1990 to work the Joburg to East London express passenger every Saturday as far as Kroonstad. When Germiston closed in 1992 she moved Braamfontein and joined 3404, 3422 and 3476 as part of the pool of 25NC that were working the Cape Town express 'Trans Karoo' every Friday and Saturday. When the railway museum pulled the plug at Millsite in 1997 that terminated the arrangement as there was nowhere else for the locos to receive maintenance. It was then she went back to Germiston under the care of Reefsteamers.
