Scope and content

Newspaper clips, magazines, some with notes spanning a wide spectrum of topics. As noted by his agency Magnum Photos: "impressions are of a guy who’s enjoying being in a new city, discovering new people with new attitudes, even if his notes betray sarcasm toward some of the experience. He was clearly interested in aspects of New York life that were taboo in apartheid-era South Africa. There are plenty of pictures of racially mixed couples, anti-government protests and of the burgeoning pleasure industry."
