Joseph Divis at Waiuta
Joseph Divis in his characteristic safari suit, with the Blackwater mine poppet head and the prominent mullock (waste) heap in the centre. Its surface had been levelled to provide a bowling green. As with so many of his photographs, Divis was up before anybody else to catch the clear early morning light.
