The internet unravelled. Systems collapsed. Within days, the digital world vanished—no signals, no power, no fuel. Money, wages, pensions: gone. Transport ground to a halt. Yet, in the chaos, people endured. This series captures the resilience of those left to navigate a world stripped bare of technology
ODC: Off the grid...saw a lot of working that you would need to do off the grid in Colonial Williamsburg while visiting.
We spent a few days living "Off The Grid" in a Strawbale House in Fermanagh. It was beautiful and wonderful and we didn't want to leave.
During sunset off the grid meditation. Recycling food from the markets. Sleeping in the park near Castle de Bellver.
My #39 Stranger is Judy, whom I met at the Stewart Park Festival. Judy and her husband and son live off the grid in a sparsely populated area.
They produce tie-dyed clothing. They are a very self-sufficient family.
They are an excellent, tangible example of leaving a small footprint.
They are doer's!
So I got Judy's picture ... and a couple of tie-dyed shirts.
Judy was happy to be part of the 100 Strangers Project.
It is interesting to meet people and learn about their lives. I learned about their healthy, positive, lifestyle!

I'm working on a project called Sustainable Howe Sound with the David Suzuki Foundation (sustainablehowesound.ca/).
From the website we're building... "Life in the waters of Howe Sound is rebounding after decades of harm from industrial activity. Planning for the future is the best way to protect the sound’s wildlife and communities. Sustainable Howe Sound is a platform for individuals and groups who share a commitment to protect Howe Sound. The end goal is a plan for land and marine environments guided by public and expert input.".
Our first visit was to Camp Firmcom (fircom.ca/) on Gambier Island. Check out the interview and photos! :)

Shot 2005. The Southern Pacific train station in Downtown Oakland, California. Abandoned since 1989. Night, 120 second exposure. Rain, full moon, sodium vapor and other ambient light.
Off the Grid began in June of 2010 with the simple idea that grouping Street Food vendors together similar to an “asian night market” would create an experience that would allow neighbors to connect with friends, and families to reconnect with each other. Since then Off the Grid has worked hard to develop markets that are both located in urban cores of cities, and that utilize spaces that are not easily activated effectively throughout the day. In 2010 Off the Grid opened 3 markets. In 2011 Off the Grid opened 9 more. Off the Grid is proud of its role organizing, promoting and managing all of its markets, and the small mobile food businesses that we work with. Off the Grid relies heavily on the power of social media to connect with its audience (for its first 6 months OtG only had a Facebook page). Currently Off the Grid operates 23 weekly markets in the greater bay area, and works with over 150 vendors weekly. Off the Grid believes in promoting win-win opportunities for the small local businesses that we work with, maintaining a fixed cost structure that is well below other standard events rates. At its core, Off the Grid believes in the power of a shared food experience to connect communities, and we work hard to maintain a shared sense of space wherever we serve. ~ offthegridsf.com/vendors#food

After hearing Mati and Grandma Ooohs were taking a "bath" (going to an outbuilding and dumping hot water over their bodies), Islay demanded a "tub" too. So she got one.

A teaser (though you can probably figure out most of what's here) for the forthcoming CG Off The Grid Coffee Guide.
Shot on a Canon A-1 using Ilford 3200 Professional film with a Canon FD 35mm f2.8 lens. I took this photo of my friend Martin Ovo in his squat in Dublin. This is the only light in the house.
I visited my niece's off-the-grid house located in bushland north of Orange, NSW. 14 solar PV panels provide power to a battery storage system. The windmill that pumps bore water can also be switched to generate power for the system. House is passive solar design with a composting toilet and beautiful views down the valley. But with bush all around, they will need a bushfire emergency plan.
