  • 29 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Lower 9th ward. On the one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina, and most of the area remains derelict and abandoned. Ribbons, inscribed with 'In loving memory of family,' flutters in a slight breeze. The styrofoam cross hangs beside front steps, all that remains of a house washed away in the flood waters that rushed through the area one year ago.

  • 29 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Lower 9th ward. On the one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina, and most of the area remains derelict and abandoned. Resident Terry Charles moved back into his flood ravaged home months ago and lives in his mould filled home from which he was lucky to escape when the hurricane hit. Terry suffers from severe mental problems, yet somehow manages to live alone with no neighbours or community. He has not eaten for days. He holds a net he made, in which he 'catches things.' The net contained a flood damaged rusty cigarette lighter and various bits of junk. There are no social services to help Terry. He can quote passages from the bible and scratches bizarre drawings on bits of paper he finds. Terry needs help desperately, but none is available to him. He does not know it is the one year anniversary today.

The predominantly white upper middle class neighborhood of Braithwaite Park, established in 1936 remains eerie and abandoned as residents failed to return following the flooding and subsequent chemical spill from nearby Stolthaven chemical storage facility.  Insurance companies have often refused to pay residents the full value on their policies and many are now in litigation. Many houses once valued at well over $250,000 are rapidly falling into disrepair and blight. Properties are as abandoned as former residents feel, complaining that  Plaquemines Parish, the State and Federal government has done little to nothing to help them fight for their rights.  <br />

Hurricane Isaac 1 year later. <br />
The predominantly white upper middle class neighborhood of Braithwaite Park, established in 1936 remains eerie and abandoned as residents failed to return following the flooding and subsequent chemical spill from nearby Stolthaven chemical storage facility.  Insurance companies have often refused to pay residents the full value on their policies and many are now in litigation. Many houses once valued at well over $250,000 are rapidly falling into disrepair and blight. Properties are as abandoned as former residents feel, complaining that  Plaquemines Parish, the State and Federal government has done little to nothing to help them fight for their rights.  <br />
