  • 29 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Lakeview. The one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina. Demolition man Jay Johnson of east Orleans stands in the rubble of what used to be an upscale upper middle class home he has just torn down. Johnson picked through the rubble for the copper piping to recycle. He was on speakerphone to the lead contractor who was moaning about his labor force and problems with crews, his 'boss' having just returned from yet another first class jet set holiday with all the cash he is now earning.

The one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina. Brian Williams, NBC news anchor of the 'Nightly News' preps for his 5.00pm live slot from the flood ravaged area. (6.00pm east coast). Williams has been a staunch supporter of New Orleans and has been a great vocal critic of the slow pace of reform and has heavily criticised both federal and local government ineptitude. Many New Orleanians support Williams and his continued efforts to highlight the vast array of problems still facing the community and applaud him for his efforts to maintain the city as a 'newsworthy' story. <br />

  • 29 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Lower 9th ward. On the one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina, and most of the area remains derelict and abandoned. Ribbons, inscribed with 'In loving memory of family,' flutters in a slight breeze. The styrofoam cross hangs beside front steps, all that remains of a house washed away in the flood waters that rushed through the area one year ago.

  • 29 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Lakeview. Lake Pontchartrain. Local fishermen cast their nets and land catfish from the still waters that just 12 months ago devastated the area as they filled back into the city, rupturing the nearby 17th street canal. The connection New Orleans and south Louisiana has with the water is inextricable. The two are forever linked together and until the Army Corps of Engineers is able to build sufficient flood protection, and the greater world is able to control global warming and rising seas, the city and the region will continue to be at increased risk for even greater devastation in the years ahead.

Resident Terry Charles moved back into his flood ravaged home months ago and lives in his mould filled home from which he was lucky to escape when the hurricane hit. Terry suffers from severe mental problems, yet somehow manages to live alone with no neighbours or community. He has not eaten for days. He holds a net he made, in which he 'catches things.' The net contained a flood damaged rusty cigarette lighter and various bits of junk. There are no social services to help Terry. He can quote passages from the bible and scratches bizarre drawings on bits of paper he finds. Terry needs help desperately, but none is available to him. He does not know it is the one year anniversary today.

  • 29 August 2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. Lower 9th ward. <br />
On the one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina, and most of the area remains derelict and abandoned. Resident Terry Charles moved back into his flood ravaged home months ago and lives in his mould filled home from which he was lucky to escape when the hurricane hit. Terry suffers from severe mental problems, yet somehow manages to live alone with no neighbours or community. He has not eaten for days. He holds a net he made, in which he 'catches things.' The net contained a flood damaged rusty cigarette lighter and various bits of junk. There are no social services to help Terry. He can quote passages from the bible and scratches bizarre drawings on bits of paper he finds. Terry needs help desperately, but none is available to him. He does not know it is the one year anniversary today.<br />

The ruins of a fishing pier reflect in the still waters that just 12 months ago devastated the area as they filled back into the city, rupturing the nearby 17th street canal. The connection New Orleans and south Louisiana has with the water is inextricable. The two are forever linked together and until the Army Corps of Engineers is able to build sufficient flood protection, and the greater world is able to control global warming and rising seas, the city and the region will continue to be at increased risk for even greater devastation in the years ahead.<br />

The one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina. Brian Williams, NBC news anchor of the 'Nightly News' preps for his 5.00pm live slot from the flood ravaged area. (6.00pm east coast). Williams has been a staunch supporter of New Orleans and has been a great vocal critic of the slow pace of reform and has heavily criticised both federal and local government ineptitude. Many New Orleanians support Williams and his continued efforts to highlight the vast array of problems still facing the community and applaud him for his efforts to maintain the city as a 'newsworthy' story. <br />
