I shot the first part of the birth project in a public hospital in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic. Dr. M. is an Ob/Gyn in a hospital with no hot water, intermittent electricity, and insufficient basic supplies like sheets. She was very generous in letting me follow her as she worked (and in soothing my homesickness by feeding me, making me laugh and taking me to a little town in the mountains for a break). Here are some pictures of her at work.
