Affection between two people in a multi-racial cafe, Johannesburg
Written on the back of this work is: “While shooting for an African magazine in South Africa, I heard about this café on the outskirts of Johannesburg which had some great African musicians playing there at night. More interestingly for me perhaps was the rumour that whites were attending, this at a time when multi-racial gatherings were illegal in South Africa. I had just arrived. Standing in the doorway surveying the scene, I noticed the warm interplay between the African couple in front of the jukebox with a white guy at the table behind. Sometimes these moments catch one unprepared; happily for me I’d arrived with a camera around my neck and was able to capture the moment.” — Ian Berry
