  • March 6th,2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. Six months after hurricane Katrina devasted the Lower 9th Ward, recovery work, slow and sometimes grim, continues at what appears to be a snail's pace. Volunteers from the 'Common Ground' charitable organisation work tirelessly to gut and prepare sound houses for renovation. A man using a mild bleach solution power washes mould from the stripped interior of a home.

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.<br />

Second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Deserted, empty houses remain derelict and decimated in the Lower 9th Ward. An old weathered demolition notice from the city promises to raise the house, one of these days? The area remains mostly abandoned and overgrown, ghostly reminders of lives that once were. President Bush came to town and claimed he could be proud of what local and federal government have achieved in the city. Yet two years after the storm, it is quite clear that local and federal government are failing and have a great deal to do to live up their promises.<br />

  • 19 June, 2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. Housing problems. Keep Out! Saint Bernard Housing complex. The eerily deserted 1,300 unit housing project was flooded in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. HANO, The Housing Authority of New Orleans has vowed to demolish the public housing, once riddled with crime and poverty. The housing authority proposes a mix of private and public housing created by private contractors. Former residents, fenced out with barbed wire argue that HANO is part of a greater city plot to keep poor, predominantly African Americans from returning home. The Complex is now fenced off and residents need to make an appointment at least 72 hours in advance to be permitted back to collect personal belongings.
