The Hotazel Years: 30 Years of Photographing Southern Africa by Obie Oberholzer
"Life without adventure is, indeed, no life at all." This overview of a life spent viewing the world through the lens of his camera, tells as much of Obie Oberholzer - photographer, raconteur and free spirit par, excellence - as it does of the country and continent he loves. In Hotazel, Obel takes us with him on a photographic journey spanning 30 years, a journey through Southern Africa, where something strange, odd or funny is bound to happen round the next corner. Hotazel offers 132 pages of full colour pictures, accompanied by Obi's quirkly annotations, as well as a selection of his prized black and white photographs, which have never been published before. To contextualise his work, Obie has rewritten all the captions in the much - loved Obie-off-the-wall style. Obie's is one of South Africa's best-loved photographers.
