Highlights & Footlights: A Tribute to South African Stage and Screen (Read It!)

Photographer Bob Martin's magical lens has caputred many exquisite images through the years. But his extraordinary collection of blac and white photographs was left to gather dust in an old cardboard box on his garage floor -- until this book was published.

'Highlights and Footlights' is a record of the immense wealth of artistic activity in South Africa, from the early 1960s and through the subsequent 40 or so years that Bob took these pictures, and of the artists whose energy, passion and talent entertained South African audiences during this period.

But more than that, it's a testament to the remarkable genius that is Bob Martin. In this book, Bob reveals not only his versatility, creativity and exceptional photographic skill, but through his rich and enchanting personal anecdotes, he allows us a rare glimpse into a bygone era of glamour, creativity and inspiration.
