  • 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.

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.<br />

Second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The empty streets of the largely derelict and decimated Lower 9th Ward. The area remains mostly abandoned and overgrown, ghostly reminders of lives that once were. 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 />

Second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Graffiti tags the industrial canal levee at the same spot where the levee breached during hurricane Katrina killing hundreds of New Orleanians. The simple word, 'Hindsight' mirrors the attitude of many residents struggling to return to the still derelict and decimated Lower 9th Ward.<br />

The one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina. Brian Williams, NBC news anchor of the 'Nightly News' preps for his 5.00pm live slot from the flood ravaged area. (6.00pm east coast). Williams has been a staunch supporter of New Orleans and has been a great vocal critic of the slow pace of reform and has heavily criticised both federal and local government ineptitude. Many New Orleanians support Williams and his continued efforts to highlight the vast array of problems still facing the community and applaud him for his efforts to maintain the city as a 'newsworthy' story. <br />

One year later and people gather at the site of the breach of the industrial canal for the Great Flood commemoration and memorial ceremony to 'honor and remember our loved ones who have passed.' People came to mark the anniversary of devastating hurricane Katrina at the site where the now repaired and allegedly in theory stronger levee flood wall. The levee breached along the industrial canal at the point where people gathered, needlessly killing hundreds of innocent civilians in the worst engineering disaster in US history.<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 />

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 />
