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.

This old water reservoir sits a ways back behind Salvation Mountain, right above Slab City. Rumor has it the graffiti was done by a man from Nevada, who quickly left the area for fear of retribution from the religious locals.
THE REFUGE
A family’s vision to provide a place for rest and shelter
Created by: Meg Roussos
The Welch family lives contently inside a school bus on 20 acres land. Their vision of providing a place for shelter and rest shapes their daily lives.

TRANSCRIPT:
SMILES: It's not surprising to have some guy living in a bus in the woods, but to have a family live in a bus in the woods, and being at peace, that's super natural. I mean we are so at peace here.
SPACE: For a long time it was kind of tough for me because especially in the winter time where I was all feeling a little bit overwhelmed and claustrophobic trying to keep the house clean that's thirty some feet long; having to work through those things stretches our souls, and makes us better people in the long run I think.
(Birds chirping)
It didn't start out this way, you know, it started out with us having to learn contentment as being renters, as being homeless.
(Birds chirping)
SMILES: I hit the road looking for love. So, eight and a half months after that I get picked up hitchhiking by what ends up being my incredible wife, and she was on the road looking for freedom. By getting rear ended by a drunk driver a week later, and meeting the right people we came to know Christ ten days after we met. I knew I had found the love that I have been seeking after, and she found the freedom she was looking for.
(Stream running water)
SPACE: These are my life choices and this is what we have chosen to do, and I do feel that they have been a huge asset to our family.
(Rain)
SMILES: People that are striving to live the American dream even though they are so discontent they look down upon us and our life, the way we're living, raising our family, these circumstances. What we have you cannot buy and people are trying to buy their happiness, weather it is through money or through whatever; but as we learn and gain, we want to teach and give.
SPACE: What were pouring into this land is not just for our benefit but, for the benefit of generations to come.
(Rain)
SIMON: That sucks. Oh, that sucks
(Rain)
SMILES: We prayed yeah, that we would gain some land outside of Athens, we prayed for this land for 12 or 13 years before God provided it. We want this place to be a refuge for people who need it.
(Birds chirping)
The world would say you're so poor and then they would look at us and say yet you're the richest people I've ever seen. The world would say you have nothing and then at the very same time they would have in their mind, you have everything I have ever wanted.

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! :)

In June of 2014, myself and three others set out on a 5 day 4 night kayak camping trip on the Pecos River in southwest Texas. Unfortunately our trip was ill-fated and the area we were in received record setting rainfall on the fourth day causing the river to rise dramatically (31 feet in an hour and a half) at which point we had to abandon all of our equipment and egress the canyon. We were rescued via helicopter a few hours later, and while we survived with no serious injuries we lost EVERYTHING including over 6K of my personal camera equipment. Two months later I got a call that some fishermen had found my cameras (in a pelican case) in the lake that is fed by this river. They found my camera equipment 50 miles away from where we had to egress. These are the "lost" photos from the trip.

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
