  • 23 March 2020. Montreuil Sur Mer, Pas de Calais, France. <br />
Coronavirus - COVID-19 in Northern France.<br />
<br />
Shelves stripped of hand sanitizer at Leclerc supermarket in Attin near Montreuil Sur Mer. Hand sanitiser was one of the first items to disappear from supermarket shelves.<br />
<br />
Numbers entering the store at any one time are restricted to try and maintain 'social distancing,' in an effort to halt the spread of the virus. Anyone leaving their home must carry with them an 'attestation,' in a effect a self administered permit to allow them out of the house. If stopped by the police, one must produce a valid permit along with identification papers. Failure to do so is punishable with heavy fines. Movement in France has been heavily restricted by the government.<br />
<br />
Montreuil Sur Mer was the headquarters of the British Army under Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig from March 1916 to April 1919. Over 1,200 year old, the ancient fortified  town with its high ramparts has endured through history, surviving the plague and King Henry VIII's invasion of France in 1544 when the Duke of Norfolk under Henry VIII's command laid a disastrous siege to the town which held firm until Norfolk was forced to withdraw in 1545. Residents are confident the ancient town can survive the coronavirus too. <br />

  • 27 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Edward Claiborne, (51yrs.) Lower 9th ward. Edward stands in the neighbourhood he grew up in, close to where his mother's house was destroyed by hurricanme Katrina, the area from which he lost friends to the storm. His father 'died of grief' a few months after the storm, Edward says, once his father saw his destroyed home. Edward is wortking for the city, attempting to stop the waste of clean water that pours into drains from the hundreds of cracked water mains in the city. He stands in the lower 9th ward close to the Industrial Canal levee breach and his childhood home which no longer stands.
