"The Joubert Park photographers had unintentionally created an informal archive of the social history of Johannesburg’s inner city at a particular time in its history. They might have kept the unclaimed photographs because they believed someone would eventually come back for them one day, but I also think it was because of their respect for the meaning of a photographic portrait, and the sense of it being a real part of the person who had commissioned it."
– Terry Kurgan
