  • 1 June, 2006. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana. First day of hurricane season. An armed security guard stands watch over Army Corps engineers and contractors who have been threatened as they rebuild the 4,000 ft long, $34 million  flood wall, rebuilt by Cajun Contractors for the Army Corps of Engineers is almost complete and stands, in theory, ready to protect the devastated Lower 9th Ward from the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal. Photographed is the area where a huge barge smashed through the original flood wall, where a tidal wave of water rushed through, devastating the area where so many people died.

  • 1 June, 2006. Lakeview, New Orleans, Louisiana. First day of hurricane season. Kewit contractors of the Gilbert Southern Group working for the US Army Corps of Engineers work on the $41.5 million Orleans Canal Interim Closure structure. The structure, designed to prevent water build up in the canal during hurricane storm surges is almost complete. A worker talks on his cell phone amidst the structure. The pumping capacity has yet to match that of pre hurricane Katrina levels, potentially leaving the affluent Lakeview neighbourhood unprotected once again.

  • 1 June, 2006. Lakeview, New Orleans, Louisiana. Contractors for the US Army Corps of Engineers work on the $50 million 17th Street Canal Interim Closure structure. The dam, designed to prevent water build up in the canal during hurricane storm surges is almost complete. Between 30 and 50 workers per 12 hour shift work around the clock, seven days a week to complete the dam. They continue to drive pilings into the water and have the center section left to complete. The barrier has yet to be automated with hydraulic lifts. For now the Army Corps must use cranes to manually close the structure. The pumping capacity is currently only 10% of pre hurricane Katrina levels, potentially leaving the affluent Lakeview neighbourhood unprotected.

The Walmart in Uptown New Orleans closed down the store ahead of Hurricane Isaac. In a bid to prevent a repeat of any looting, heavy pallets were placed in front of the doorways. The 7th year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is tomorrow and with a storm lurking in the Gulf many have evacuated as an uneasy calm settles over New Orleans.<br />

  • March 8th, 2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. Six months after hurricane Katrina devasted the Lower 9th Ward, recovery work begins with the clearing of roads and debris by private contractors. And still, six months after hurricane Katrina, many roads remain blocked by houses and their contents spilled into the roads where they came to rest as the water swept through.<br />
A clock lies amidst the rubble of someone's former living room on North Tonti Street. The clock, stopped at ten minutes to ten on the morning hurricane Katrina smashed the house from its foundations moving it halfway into the street.

The gritty, run down 2200 block of Orleans Street, scene of the shooting of Irish Garda Brian Hanrahan, shot in New Orleans on January 27th, 2015. The shooting scene is approximately 1.5 miles from Bourbon Street and it is unclear why Hanrahan walked this far away from the French Quarter? NOPD advised that Hanrahan was shot for refusing to hand over his wallet. The assailants rifled through his pockets and wallet where they discovered his Irish police ID. It is alleged they asked if Hanrahan was a cop. When he confirmed that he was, his assailants then allegedly told Hanrahan, 'Well, this is how we do things in New Orleans,' and they shot him a second time.<br />

Katrina 8 years later. In a tale of two cities, the hardest hit neighbourhoods struggle to revitalize and return. Brad Pitt's 'Make it Right Foundation' enjoys limited success with ecologically sustainable housing rebuilds in a handful of city blocks. A few residents have also rebuilt their properties. Yet many half finished or blighted properties and vacant overgrown lots remain dotted throughout the landscape with limited new construction projects. Residents who have returned complain of limited services, infrequent police patrols, high crime rates, rampant mosquitos and uncontrolled vermin. <br />

Second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Robert Lynn Green Sr  and grand daughter Chayana Hurst (4 yrs) sits on the steps of 1826 Tennessee Street in front of his trailer in the Lower 9th Ward. The steps are all that remain of his house after it was deluged by the levee breach just blocks from the steps. Robert lost his mother and grand daughter at the house when they perished in the terrible flooding. He lost hold of his grand daughter in the swirling floods. She was drowned. His mother was not found for 4 months when her skeleton was discovered in what remained of his washed away house. Robert hopes to rebuild. Many residents are struggling to return to the still derelict and decimated Lower 9th Ward.<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. Restricted access. TV news camera crews take over deserted streets and set up live satellite feeds, blocking public streets and creating an authorised only person zone for reporters and crew. Off duty cops on overtime ensure the area is kept free of people without credentials to enter the zone.<br />

Pontchartrain Baptist Church remains in ruins just blocks from the 17th street canal breach in Lakeview. Much of the city remains in ruins 5 months after hurricane Katrina destroyed the levees, flooding the area.<br />

Katrina 8 years later. In a tale of two cities, the hardest hit neighbourhoods struggle to revitalize and return. Brad Pitt's 'Make it Right Foundation' enjoys limited success with ecologically sustainable housing rebuilds in a handful of city blocks. A few residents have also rebuilt their properties. Yet many half finished or blighted properties and vacant overgrown lots remain dotted throughout the landscape with limited new construction projects. Residents who have returned complain of limited services, infrequent police patrols, high crime rates, rampant mosquitos and uncontrolled vermin. <br />
