When we refer to “the culture”, a lot comes to mind, the people, the sound, the aesthetic, to the times that shape it and much more, but where would we be without the documenters? The ones immortalising moments of historic glory? The ones that make us go “damn I wish I was there”. The Photographers, the videographers, our visual spirit guides. This series is for them, the special forces that keep the culture going, keep it alive and put the game on, making sure we never miss a moment.Through their lens we see the world.Introducing Jason aka disposablememories from Cape Town.
