Welcome to DOUBLEtruck Magazine - Issue Six! Visa p our L’I mage - I nternational Photojournalism Festival - Perpignan Sp ecial Issue!

This issue contains images taken b et ween Feb. 2, 2006 and Aug. 20, 2006. doubletruck: n. An ad or editorial project that covers two facing pages. The term originates from the days when heavy forms for newspaper pages, largely filled with lead type, were rolled around the composing room floor on heavy carts called trucks. Two pages for one project meant a doubletruck. Source: The Detroit Free Press The day DT6 went to press, the Lebanon conflict started. Always wanted to shout out, “stop the presses” and despite the extra cost, we did. We and the world waited to see what developed, in what the early pundits called the beginning of world war three.

The conflict ended, both sides declared victory. It appears nothing was settled. More and more, it appears to be the world we live in, no really black and white answers, lots of mushy grays, and far too often the bright red of innocent bloodshed. News as we all know, has no fixed schedule. DT6 when to print the day Perpignan’s Visa began, instead of being delivered that day. DT6 like the ones before it, is presented in chronological order of when the images were taken or made news.

We kick off this issue with the best in news and reportage photojournalism—photos depicting the wrath of man and nature. A world at conflict, with itself and its people. The damage from Indonesia’s massive earthquake and on going Iraq war as well as the latest from Lebanon. As they say, ‘ a picture is worth a thousand words’ so we have a thousand word interview with award winning courageous Hazel Thompson about her break out work on teen prisons in the Philippines for this issue’s Backstory.

This issue is 100 pag es with 46 doubletrucks, a record numb er of t wo -page spreads! Yes, we’re talk ing 100 pages! I t ’s our biggest issue yet.

BACKSTORY: HAZEL THOMPSON Hazel Thompson gained access to four prisons in and around Manila, the capital of the Phillipines. Working with Jubilee’s partner, the PREDA Foundation, Thompson got inside the prisons. She saw sights that most of society will never see.

DOUBLEtruck’s Scott Mc Kiernan interviewed her to get her BACKSTORY. DOU BL Etru c k : Wa s t h is a s e l f- init iated sto r y?

Haze l T h o m p s o n : N o, I wa s a p proache d by the cha rit y Jubile e Ac tion ( who m I have a l o n g s t a n d i n g wo rk i n g rel at i o n s h i p w i t h ) to b e p a r t of their ca m p a i g n a n d g l o b a l re p or t into children in prison calle d “K ids B ehi n d B a r s : W hy We M u s t Ac t.”

DT: How d i d yo u g e t a cce s s ?

Hazel: By working on the campaign by doing research looking for images of kids in prison around the world. It became very clear that there was hardly any strong photographic proof to back up the reports of thousands of children illegally imprisoned in inhumane conditions around the world. The charity knew that to get people to respond we needed photographs to show the truth. Jubilee then decided to approach their partners in Pakistan, Uganda and the Philippines to see if they could get me access without compromising their aid work and being too dangerous. It was too high risk to get into the Pakistan and Uganda prisons, but Jubilee’s partner PREDA in the Philippines felt that they could sneak me into the Philippine prisons as an aid worker, becoming part of their jail team, as they take Westerners regularly so I wouldn’t cause too much suspicion.

DT: We r e t he r e l i mi ts o n w h a t you cou l d take i n or u se?

Hazel: Yes, there were limits on how much gear I could take in, as I had to appear like an aid worker and not a photojournalist. I broke my camera down to as small as it would go and just took in two lenses without any lens hoods: a 50mm and my 16-35mm lens.

Decided not to take a flash, as it would look too professional and I didn’t want the guards to be aware of how many photos I was taking. We decided it was best not to hide the main body of the camera and small lens and just tell the guards I was taking a few shots for the charity to help raise money for the jail work they are doing (PREDA represents the children in the legal system, so they get freed into their care). We hid the 16-35mm lens in a small bag and covered it with girlie handbag items, such as sunglasses and sanitary towels, so that if the guards looked into the bag, they wouldn’t look further. This plan worked, and I was able to sneak the two lenses in.

DT: W ha t we r e th e wo r k i n g co n d i ti ons?

Hazel: The working conditions were very hard in all four of the prisons that I got into.

There was hardly any natural light, so I had to use fast film and slow shutter speeds. I saw children detained in overcrowded cells and uninhabitable conditions. In flooded and damp cells, with little light, stifling heat and no fresh air. Many children had skin conditions after being months, even years, in these conditions. I saw kids covered in ringworm, boils and scabies. There was a stench of stale body odor and urine, which in the humidity became unbearable. In one of the prisons, I walked through dirty river water, which came halfway up my shins, across the whole floor area of the jail. I learned that the flooding was a daily occurrence that the inmates had to endure.

DT: How l ong h a s th e P h il i p p i nes b e en d oi ng thi s?

Hazel: This has been happening for years in the Philippine Jails. They have never reformed their justice system and have chosen to ignore the plight of the children. PREDA has been campaigning for years to the Philippine government to reform the justice system, which the government has also been trying to ignore. But since the new campaign, they have started to take action due to international pressure.

DT: How l ong wer e yo u th er e?

Hazel: In all, I was in the Philippines over 10 days, photographing other issues, as well as the kids behind bars. I went into the prisons at the end of the trip, as I had to get in and out of the prisons quickly, so as not to get caught, and get the photos back to the U.K. So, I had to work quickly but also do it over the charity’s scheduled jail visits, so as not to cause suspicion. I got into four jails over a few days in the metro Manila area.

DT: W ha t wa s yo u r i mp r essi o n of the si tua ti on the b oys were i n?

Hazel: I was greatly shocked and moved by what I saw. I found it hard to rationalize that I was seeing children in this way, in our modern age. I felt like I had been sent back 100 years. Even though I had been told that the sights in the jails would be shocking, nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. I was angered that there was such injustice for these children and that without the help of the charity they are getting lost in the jails and justice system. Some of the boys I met had already been in prison six months without a hearing and were imprisoned on an accusation.

DT: How were the images used or how would you like them to be used?

Hazel: The images have been used as part of Jubilee Action’s global campaign, appearing in all their literature and being shown on national TV news in the U.K., U.S. and Asia (ITV and CNN). The UN’s Criminal Justice Reform Unit has also used them for the 15th Session of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. The story has also been published in the USA, U.K., Sweden and Belgium. And the photos have been exhibited in London in the Newsroom as part of the Observer Hodge exhibition. And a few of the images are about to be exhibited at the Royal National Theatre for “The Press Photographers Year” exhibition and book. The photographs have also won four awards: CARE International humanitarian photojournalism Award, 1st prize in the Observer Hodge Award; a special award in the U.K.’s Picture Editors’ Awards; and it is in this year’s PDN annual. I would like them to be used to help campaign for justice for these children and to help cease children being imprisoned in adult jails.

DT: Wi l l yo u fo l l ow th is sto r y up ?

Hazel: I would like to follow up this story to find out the progress of the child prisoner Matthew, whom I saw released into the charity’s care, and to go back and photograph the jails to see if changes have been made.

May 11, 2006 - Almeria, Spain - A man enjoys some target practice with an air rifle at Hotel Vera Playa Club. Why did God make us beige?

I ask because I’m standing at a bar completely naked. Everyone else is naked, too. We are on a “naturist” package tour at the Vera Playa Club in southern Spain. Last week, the 70-year-old travel entrepreneur Peter Englert sold his “naturist” holiday company Peng Travel for £1.8 million. I call Peng and book, trembling, a holiday at this popular “naturist resort.” I want to meet the British adventurers who have made Mr. Englert rich. Upon arriving in Almeria and finding a scarred building site of a landscape, dotted with fake Moorish castles and billboards of naked people laughing, I ponder, Will I bare anything but my prejudice? In the car park, there is a statue of an ecstatic nude and a rainbow of flags representing the clientele (it’s us, the Belgians, the Germans and the French). I enter the club and gawk at fake ruins, marble floors, chandeliers, an enormous palm tree and a scarlet telephone box. It is Buckingham Palace meets Celebrity Love Island.

FO RG OT TE N L E P E R S O F S U DA N May 25, 2006 - Juba, Southern Sudan - Over 600 lepers still live in this leper colony created by the Sudanese government in 1946. Over $4.6 billion dollars of aid money has been promised to South Sudan, but none of it is filtering down to those who need it most. Leprosy treatment has been available for 17 years now. Sufferers must start treatment within six months of first contracting the disease. Unfortunately, people who contracted leprosy before this cure was developed still suffer from its effects. In South Sudan, there has been a resurgence in leprosy cases since the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed last year and more people are now able to come forward to be tested. The long incubation period of up to 40 years means it is often impossible to establish how the disease is transmitted.
