I have been photographing Ubom! Eastern Cape Drama Company for the last 9 years. See my earlier post about our annual studio shoot. Recently I photographed "Hoss", a production directed by Rob Murray with Andrew Buckland. In this production, modern day cowboys ride towards an apocalyptic high noon showdown at the OK cafe where culture, myth and tall tales intertwine and then clash, in the wild, wild West Eastern (Cape). Check out a few of the results.
