Many people tried and failed in their bids to return after falling victim to unscrupulous contractors, insurance companies paying cents on the dollar and a number of other factors that drained their finances and prevented them form finishing their dream homes in their old neighborhoods. <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.

With crime beginning to pick up as people return to the city following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, 300 Louisiana National Guardsmen returned to New Orleans to supplement local police and provide increased cover and back up in parts of the city that remain derelict and thinly populated since the devastating floods. MP's stop a young man for running a stop light and temporarily hold him when his ID returns a warrant, which turns out to have been expunged. The young man was on parole and technically breaking the terms of parole by driving with a suspended licence and no insurance. The MP's gave him a warning.

  • 06 June 2010. Barataria Bay to Grand Isle, Jefferson/Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. <br />
Jimmy Terrebonne Snr sits surrounded by oil boom on his boat in Barataria Bay. The shrimp boater should be sweeping the waters for up to $5,000 worth of beautiful Gulf shrimp a day but the fishing grounds are all closed. Instead he is making around $1,000 a day for oil for BP contractors instead, a fraction of what he would ordinarily be making with bills mounting at home. The fisherman does not have a fixed contract within BP and does not know when BP will stop hiring him. He does however know that his life will never be the same again. The ecological and economic impact of BP's oil spill is devastating to the region. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. The Louisiana wetlands produce over 30% of America's seafood and are the most fertile of their kind in the world.<br />

Oil containment booms lie uselessly washed up on an inland tidal beach in Grand Isle. Fierce tidal currents and changeable weather makes it virtually impossible to keep booms in place around the parish. The first sticky  spots of oil surfaced on the west of the Mississippi river and have been confirmed up and down the beaches of Jefferson and Lafourche parishes. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf. <br />

  • 26 July 2006 - New Orleans , Louisiana. USA..Law and Order post hurricane Katrina. 2228 MP Company, Louisiana National Guard military Police patrol. 5th District. .With crime beginning to pick up as people return to the city following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, 300 Louisiana National Guardsmen returned to New Orleans to supplement local police and provide increased cover and back up in parts of the city that remain derelict and thinly populated since the devastating floods. MP's stop to question a suspicious man who turns out to be drunk. He insists on lifting his shirt to show the MP's unhealed gunshot wounds. The man needs serious medical attention but refuses to accept an offer of assistance and stumbles away into the night. The MP's insisted he be taken for treatment and eventually the man was treated, undoubtedly saving his life. Photo; Charlie Varley
