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 />

  • 29 August 2007. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana. <br />
Second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. President Bush visited a high school less than a mile from the still demolished Alfred Lawless High School in the Lower 9th Ward. Bush posed for photo opportunities at a newly rebuilt high school, yet close by the ghostly remains of another high school show how so many have been left behind. The area remains mostly abandoned and overgrown. 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 />

  • 1 July 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Earl Jackson, City Park. 58 yr old Jackson moved to New Orleans from Georgia in October 2005 in search of work. He moved to the unauthorised  migrant workers encampment at City Park, where many workers and drifters lived in tents and trailers. He slept on the outdoor couch the previous night. The camp was forcibly emptied and the residents evicted under court order just after midnight on July 1st. Jackson is the last resident, picking his way through the remnants of the camp. Life has been tough for Jackson, living in a tent in the park next to a creek with snakes, spiders, alligators and mosquitos. His tools were stolen early on, his ride towed. His health has deteriorated. He has a septic spider bite inside his thigh, small flies dine on wounds on his legs, he must shower and shave under an outdoor hose. The only possessions he has left are all kept in a shopping cart. The city removed the mobile toilets forcing Jackson to defecate in the woods. He does not know where he will go now. He will likely end up amongst the city's homeless population.

  • 07 June 2010. Pointe aux Chenes, Louisiana.<br />
Fading away. Oil and gas pipelines criss cross the wetlands just south of the isolated town of Pointe Aux Chenes. The town clings to the little land that remains along the bayous and waterways of southern Louisiana. Oil washes up on the  marsh grasses just south of tribal homes. If the grass dies, there is nothing left to hold the land. All of this was solid ground just 100 years ago. Diversion of the mighty Mississippi River diverted sediment from the wetlands and deposited precious land building material deep out at sea.  At present, all these fishing grounds are closed. Members of the Pointe aux Chenes Indians, settlers that can trace their roots beyond 5 generations back to France face extinction of their very way of life, their very existence. French cajun is the language of the elders, but is dying out in the children of today. BP's catastrophic oil spill threatens everything, their way of life and the land on which they live. Not recognised by the federal government, the 680 member tribe struggles for funds in a small community that survives only because of fishing and oil extraction in the Gulf of Mexico.<br />

A local resident's car stuck in flood water. Following a major break in an old 30-inch water main, officials and workers from New orleans Sewerage and Water board struggle to contain the millions of gallons of water flooding homes and streets in The Carrolton neighbourhood. Huge investment in public infrastructure is required to repair and upgrade the ageing water delivery system in the city.

  • 05 May 2010. Venice, Louisiana. Deepwater Horizon, British Petroleum environmental oil spill disaster.<br />
Gas and oil pipelines already criss-cross and decimate much of Louisiana's wetlands statewide. For decades environmentalists have complained that the channeling of such pipelines through the wetlands has done nothing but permit salt water to intrude upon fresh water, killing hundreds of thousands of acres of wetland. During hurricanes salt water is funneled into the marshes by the oil and gas channels slashing through the wetlands. The oil and gas industry has for the most part ignored the accusation, focusing instead on adding more such pipelines.<br />

  • 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. Workers tighten massive bolts holding the discharge pipes together. The pumping capacity has yet to match that of pre hurricane Katrina levels, potentially leaving the affluent Lakeview neighbourhood unprotected once again.
