  • 08 November 2020. Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial, The Somme, Picardy, France. Remembrance Sunday.<br />
The Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial is dedicated to the commemoration of Dominion of Newfoundland forces members who were killed during World War I. The 74-acre (300,000 m2) preserved battlefield park encompasses the grounds over which the Newfoundland Regiment made their unsuccessful attack on 1 July 1916 during the first day of the Battle of the Somme.<br />
The Battle of the Somme was the regiment's first major engagement, and during an assault that lasted approximately 30 minutes the regiment was all but wiped out. Purchased in 1921 by the people of Newfoundland, the memorial site is the largest battalion memorial on the Western Front, and the largest area of the Somme battlefield that has been preserved. Along with preserved trench lines, there are a number of memorials and cemeteries contained within the site. Opened by British Field Marshal Earl Haig in 1925, the memorial site is one of only two National Historic Sites of Canada located outside of Canada.<br />
The site also contains a number of memorials as well as four cemeteries maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission; that of Y Ravine Cemetery, Hawthorn Ridge Cemeteries No. 1 and No. 2 and the mass burial site of Hunter's Cemetery.<br />

Five months after hurricane Katrina hit the city, the University of New Orleans welcomes some 12,000 students back to their Lakefront campus. The film department stores and secures what remains of its heavily looted equipment. Some in the department have alleged much of the equipment went missing when the National Guard was based on the campus, using the film departments' lighting equipment to illuminate their base at the time.<br />

  • 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. Volunteer Chaplains from Victim Relief in Texas perform a simple ceremony over the remains of a resident of the Lower 9th Ward discovered in a house. The house had previously been searched and a body removed, however it appears the initial removal process missed some of the remains which were today placed in a plastic bag and taken away by the coroners office.

Ordination of women priests. <br />
This was my first ever broad sheet front page, one that hadn't come easily. Earlier in the day I had been dispatched to Bristol Cathedral to cover history in the making. For the first time in 450 years, the Anglican Church had taken the bold and at the time extremely controversial descision to ordain women priests. The world's media descended on the story. In a frantic afternoon I covered events in the lead up to the big event. Lots of pomp and ceremony, but the main event was to come later in the day. I sent my film back to the bureau of South West News Service with my then deputy photo editor. A little later later I got a frantic call, my film was shit, thin and all washed out. Nothing could be used. WTF did I think I was playing at? 'Get your shit together or get another f''king job,' the deputy photo editor screamed down the phone. This was a bit rich for a man who rarely left the office and wasn't rated that highly as a shooter by my colleagues. A classic rookie mistake. I had been shooting an event the previous evening and bumped the ISO of my film, forgetting to reset it the following day. I was devastated. My girlfriend at the time was mad at me, yet again I had missed a dinner party in London. She was reaching the end of her tether, keys would be under the mat yet again! But the main event hadn't happened yet. Not until the Bishop handed them the official papers would the ladies formally be the first women priests to be ordained. The press had been banned from the catacombs of the great cathedral, yet a TV cameraman friend of mine from ITV and I had discovered a way down earlier in the day. We took a huge gamble to ignore the main event upstairs, instead opting to hang out in the catacombs where we knew the ceremony would be finalized despite the media ban. We risked being thrown out and getting nothing at all. I didn't have much to lose but my
