- The Face of a Quake
- dc.description
- A damaged brick building on Tuam Street. Bricks have fallen from the wall exposing the interior, where a wooden structure can be seen to have collapsed.

It closely resembles a face and the round blob in the square hole at the top of the nose is a pigeon".

- This was a Two Storey House
- dc.description
- People stand in front of a damaged house in New Brighton. The upper storey at the front of the house has collapsed onto the floor below. The photographer comments, "This house at 158 Marine Parade, New Brighton, Christchurch was owned by the man leaning on the fence. He lived next door and his daughter lived here. During the earthquake the 2nd storey stayed mainly whole, but the 1st collapsed. Luckily the daughter was in the top storey. She was rescued from the building by neighbours, by climbing out of the window and down a ladder. Another piece of luck is that most of the belongings were stored in boxes in the garage at the front. Though the garage also collapsed the boxes appear intact. The owner had tried to sell it previously without success".

- Creating Modern History
- dc.description
- Part of Mike Hewson's installation 'Homage To Lost Spaces' in the Cramner Courts building, photographs of people riding bicycles have been inserted into a gap in the building. The photographer comments, "Cranmer Courts was very badly damaged in the quakes that unexpectedly hit Christchurch. Originally big photographs were put into the holes where the doors and windows were, but now these massive pictures have been put across the boarded up ends of the buildings to keep them alive in the minds of the people of Christchurch. The project was thought up by Mike Hewson".

- Unvisited Art
- dc.description
- A digitally manipulated photograph of the foyer of the Christchurch Art Gallery. The photographer comments, "The Christchurch art gallery has been closed to the public since the February 2011 earthquake and its reopening seems to be in the distant future. I want to convey the feeling that if art is not looked at darkness starts to overcome it and the paint starts to peel off".

- TJ's Kazbah, New Brighton After the Christchurch Earthquake (2)
- dc.description
- Damage to TJ's Kazbah in New Brighton. The east and north walls and part of the upper floor have collapsed, tipping rubble and the contents of the rooms out onto the street. The photographer comments, "The occupants of the business and rooms all managed to escape alive. A digger was used to make the building safe and then used to sift through the rubble for any surviving belongings. It was a very emotional time for the ex-occupants".

- A black and white photograph of a sign reading "A tidy standard of dress is required." In the foreground is a pile of building rubble.

The wrecking crew did not wear ties, but they did look neat in their orange vests".

- The Double Quake in Christchurch Resulting Liquefaction
- dc.description
- Liquefaction in North New Brighton. The photographer comments, "This was the liquefaction pouring out of a split in the road where it joins the side-walk. The quakes felt pretty violent, but the damage was less severe than the February one. Unlucky for me the epicentre was only 9.6km away and smaller aftershocks were a lot closer".
