They swim despite the fact that there is now the added threat of Cholera in the waterways. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-2fuji.jpg A Canal 2011 I was walking along with an empty water bottle in my hand wondering what to do with it. The little boy accompanying me must have sensed my thoughts and he pointed to the canal and said “throw it in the garbage”. With no formal waste disposal there is little other option than to dispose of waste in unused spaces. The government does have a scheme where people are hired usually for a week at a time to physically clean the streets of garbage, although they only operate in the highest traffic areas. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-15fuji.jpg Teenage Boy 2011 This boy lost his whole family in the earthquake and hence lives alone in this tent, allowing him to decorate as he pleases. Although he glorifies American porn imagery he is a devout catholic and prays to god for salvation everyday. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-19fuji.jpg Bed Time 2011 This is an average scene in a tent at bedtime.

Her son, lying on the ground is sick with a cough and general lethargy. She feels helpless to do anything for him. She spends her days taking care of her toddler and new born and often receives charity from her friends and neighbours. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-8fuji.jpg In the Dark 2011 There is limited public electricity. Residential areas less affected by the earthquake receive intermittent electricity, usually for a few hours morning and night, although there is never a guarantee. Most electrical power comes from generators although the most common sources of light are bonfires and candles. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-29fuji.jpg Portrait of a Woman 2010 A woman rides the local public transport. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/ClaireMartin-105-2.jpg Girl in Tent City 2010 A girl watches the mayhem unfold on the perimiter of her tent city during the Political Manifestations. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-27fuji.jpg The Middle Class 2010 I spent a few nights in this middle class suburb. Many here still live under the concrete roofs that became killers during the earthquake. Most homes have been deemed unsafe, but many have returned to their old neighbourhood because life in the camps was too intolerable or because they had nowhere else to go. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/cover-2.jpg Child with Baby 2011 This baby is not a new born. It is almost a month old. Despite the fact that there is a medical clinic less than 10 minutes walk away the mother feels there is nothing she can do about the ill health of her child. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/ClaireMartin-103.jpg MSF Cholera Clinic JAN 2011 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-6fuji.jpg New Life 2011 80 out of 1,000 Haitian children never see their first birthday. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-30fuji.jpg The Butterfly Technique 2010 A Trauma Psychologist I met in Port Au Prince told me of a technique called “The Butterfly Technique” whereby you cross your arms over your chest, resting your hands below your shoulders and tap your fingers. It apparently activates both sides of your brain and calms the nervous system. If you try it out it actually is very calming. This Down syndrome boy seemed to have a natural understanding of this phenomenon as he unconsciously poses like this for me. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-25fuji.jpg Downtown 2010 The street’s of Downtown Port au Prince are usually bustling with activity but were eerily quiet during the political riots that exploded after the 7th of December rigged election results were called. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/IMG_5383.jpg IMG 5383 IMG 5383 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/IMG_5431cover.jpg IMG 5431cover IMG 5431cover https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/IMG_5005.jpg The Presidential Palace 2010 Campaign posters line the security fencing around the Presidential Palace. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-21fuji.jpg Journey to School 2010 This lucky child represents the one in 3 girls who are able to go to school.

Before the earthquake the Haiti institute for statistics cited 78% of Haitians are poor (less than US$2 a day), and more than half (54%) live in extreme poverty (less than US$1 a day). https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-20fuji.jpg Worries 2011 Children are not immune to the stresses of daily life and the trauma they have experienced. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-9fuji.jpg Mass Graves 2011 Mass graves at Titanyen a northern Settlement of Port Au Prince. When local morgues were overwhelmed after the earthquake fields outside this settlement were designated for the unceremonious mass burial of an estimated 200,000 Haitians. Crosses were placed at the grave site as part of the 1st anniversary ceremonies. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/IMG_5400.jpg IMG 5400 IMG 5400 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/ClaireMartin-114.jpg ClaireMartin 114 ClaireMartin 114 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled-24fuji.jpg Prayer 2010 With many of the churches demolished during the earthquake people gather to pray outdoors or in temporarily constructed tents. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/Untitled22fuji.jpg Petit Merchant 2010 Most day-to-day necessities are bought on the street through the small merchants who sell everything from pharmaceuticals to fruit, veg and clothes. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/ClaireMartin-111.jpg ClaireMartin 111 ClaireMartin 111 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/ClaireMartin-106.jpg MSF Cholera Clinic JAN 2011 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/ClaireMartin-115.jpg Rigged Election Riots 8TH DECEMBER 2010 Political Manifestation.

One of the original hippy settlers in the area, Kali was particularly well known because she underwent a sex change in the early 80’s.

With a mutual love of electrical engineering and sustainable design they have lived happily together in an open relationship for around 25 years. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/1515z4Claire_Martin_05.jpg Father and Daughter 2012 Father and Daughter grew up in this ginger bread house built in the 70's. It is a tiny single room with a mezzanine perched on the side of a mountain by a waterfall, accessible only by foot. A life all too ordinary for them, is something straight out of a fairy tale for the rest of us. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/1414z3claire_martin_01.jpg The Gingerbread House 2012 Igor chose a life that represented absolute freedom , a stark contrast to his youth living in Soviet Block Europe.

As life is cheaper on the communes families can spend more time together, with less emphasis on work and money. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/1919z26claire_martin_10.jpg The Dome 2012 Kali has been living in this hand built geodesic dome since the 70's. She now lives here with James her partner of almost 30 years. The dome is in a remote part of land and the couple have to be fit and nimble to navigate the challenging path from their work space to their dome which includes crossing hand made wooden bridges, scaling steep mossy rocks, cliff sides that weep water, and ducking through overgrown tunnels of lantana. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/1616z7Claire_Martin_09.jpg Commune Creek 2012 A creek runs through the center of the commune providing water to the community. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/1717z17Claire_Maritn_14.jpg The Guest Room 2012 The interior of one of the hand built geodesic domes from the 70's in one of the many communes around Nimbin.

Designed around a vagina, you enter through the birth canal in to the womb --‐ a multiple chambered section that house bats and phallic sculptures. It is strange and fecund and quite an amazing feat for a man now in his 70's. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/666z23Claire_Martin_16.jpg Thw Womb 2012 This man’s 30 year relationship with AIDS has manifested in the creation of a hand carved cave -moist, humid, womblike and scattered with sculptures paying homage to sexuality. A simple daily exercise in catharsis, purpose and creativity, the cave has revealed itself over time to offer a kind of shrine like assurance of immortality – the labored hammering absolving the threat of death and reaffirming the beauty and mysticism of sex. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4e1b370cc48bf/images/2020z27Claire_Martin_19.jpg Sleeping Lovers 2012 These lovers met on one of the communes near Nimbin. They have lived happily together in the forrest, in an open relationship for around 25 years.
