Mr Mkhize’s Portrait and other stories from the new South Africa (Trolley, 2004)
Ghetto, Broomberg and Chanarin’s first collaboration with Trolley, was published ten years ago. It saw the then creative editors and principal photographers of Colors Magazine document 12 contemporary gated communities, from a maximum-security prison in South Africa to a psychiatric hospital in Cuba. Photographed entirely on large format colour negative, Ghetto took three years to produce and over time has became a popular classic within photo book history. It is now out of print.
Scarti di avviamento is the technical term for the paper that is fed through the printing press to clean the drums of ink between print runs. This by-product is usually destroyed once the book is printed. But in this case the scarti – Italian for scraps - were saved and safely stored away by publisher Gigi Giannuzzi. Following his untimely death in December 2012 this box was discovered. In these scraps the layering of the original images from Ghetto appear almost purposeful. The twice-printed sheets reveal uncanny and often beautiful combinations, both compositionally and contextually. In one the arm of a South African prisoner drops casually into the scene of young Tanzanian refugees perched in a tree, whilst in another an American octogenarian from ‘Leisure World’ retirement home sits almost perfectly atop the knee of a Kurdish lorry driver.
These scraps would normally have been swept up and discarded from the factory floor. But in this elegant little book they are elevated to original and fascinating works in their own right; a pure and beautiful accident in the world of bookmaking. Yet in truth they are nothing but a series of little accidents.
“Scarti with its improbable representations fits perfectly into the pessimistic vision of Broomberg & Chanarin on the power of photography to reflect reality.” Remi Coignet, Le Monde.
“Thanks to Gigi, who was inspired by those late night moments when the printing presses were churning out accidental juxtapositions, now we can appreciate the beauty, irony and humor of chance creations, too.” Jim Casper, Lensculture

Shirt worth buying several times
Size: XX-Large, Color: Anthracite Polo Stripe
Purchased another of same order and have found them to be excellent. Comfort, sizing, and quality. Can be dressed up or dressed down and they look great either way.
Worn in very hot weather and have not been oppressed by sweat. Nice. Will be purchasing more. Sizing was great. Loose and long enough to land just right over pants pocket top.

Great Quality and Comfortable Fit
Size: Large, Color: Washed Blue
I picked up the Amazon Essentials Men’s Golf Polo Shirt, and I’m really impressed. The fabric is soft, breathable, and lightweight — perfect for hot days on the golf course or casual wear.
The fit is spot-on, not too tight or too loose, and it looks sharp tucked in or out. It’s held up well after multiple washes without shrinking or losing shape. For the price, it’s excellent quality and a great value.
If you need a reliable, comfortable polo for sports or everyday wear, this one is a solid choice. Highly recommend!

Good quality, but runs a bit short
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey Heather
Overall, this is a solid polo for the price. The fabric quality is better than expected, with a nice balance of softness and durability. It’s not paper-thin, but not heavy either, and it does a good job wicking moisture and drying quickly, which is exactly what you want from a golf-style shirt. Functionally, it works well for casual wear, work, or being mildly athletic without committing to actual exercise.
Sizing is mostly on point, and I didn't notice any shrinkage after washing, but I always make sure to air dry this type of material and not throw it in the dryer. My only real gripe is the length. It feels like the shirt should be about 1–2 inches longer. If you raise your arms, people may catch a glimpse of your six-pack (hopefully), and if you bend over… well, let’s just say you'll want to be mindful of who's behind you. If Amazon fixed the length, this would be an easy five-star staple.
