  • 04 June 2012. New Orleans, Louisiana,  USA. .L/R; Ella Rose Huck (9 yrs), Quinn Russell (9 yrs) and Talia Altman (9 yrs) join local citizens gathered to show their support for a 7 day newspaper in the city following the recent shock announcement that the Times Picayune, having survived 175 years and Hurricane Katrina is to be decimated by Advance Publications Inc, a Newhouse family company. Staff were shocked when the New York Times broke the story. The paper, with the highest readership rate in the USA is to have print days cut to just 3 days a week, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday starting this autumn. Despite the newspapers' relative success, (it is still in the black) having undergone swathes of recent cuts, Advance Publications Inc has decided to make further cuts and roll out an expanded digital version of the newspaper via its enhanced web presence at NOLA.com. Advance Publications has stripped print runs from Alabama newspapers and continues to look to slash print runs throughout its empire. This will be the first major US city to not have a daily newspaper..Photo; Charlie Varley.

  • 19 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Faith Figueroa. Finding Faith. Faith (2 yrs) with her mother Miriam and her sister Anfernya (5yrs) back in the 9th Ward from which they were evacuated by boat as hurricane Katrina flooded their neighbourhood almost a year ago. The neighbourhood remains desolate, with few residents. Hurricane damage for the most part unrepaired. They now have to share their home with rats. Electricity is sporadic and expensive, the telephone company has still not repaired the lines and someone tried to break into their home a few days ago whilst they were in it. Faith manages a smile as the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approaches. Faith was featured on the Sept 19th 2005 cover of Newsweek.

A large puddle now forms in the ruined streets, a breeding ground for ferocious mosquitos.

Ordination of women priests. <br />
This was my first ever broad sheet front page, one that hadn't come easily. Earlier in the day I had been dispatched to Bristol Cathedral to cover history in the making. For the first time in 450 years, the Anglican Church had taken the bold and at the time extremely controversial descision to ordain women priests. The world's media descended on the story. In a frantic afternoon I covered events in the lead up to the big event. Lots of pomp and ceremony, but the main event was to come later in the day. I sent my film back to the bureau of South West News Service with my then deputy photo editor. A little later later I got a frantic call, my film was shit, thin and all washed out. Nothing could be used. WTF did I think I was playing at? 'Get your shit together or get another f''king job,' the deputy photo editor screamed down the phone. This was a bit rich for a man who rarely left the office and wasn't rated that highly as a shooter by my colleagues. A classic rookie mistake. I had been shooting an event the previous evening and bumped the ISO of my film, forgetting to reset it the following day. I was devastated. My girlfriend at the time was mad at me, yet again I had missed a dinner party in London. She was reaching the end of her tether, keys would be under the mat yet again! But the main event hadn't happened yet. Not until the Bishop handed them the official papers would the ladies formally be the first women priests to be ordained. The press had been banned from the catacombs of the great cathedral, yet a TV cameraman friend of mine from ITV and I had discovered a way down earlier in the day. We took a huge gamble to ignore the main event upstairs, instead opting to hang out in the catacombs where we knew the ceremony would be finalized despite the media ban. We risked being thrown out and getting nothing at all. I didn't have much to lose but my

Perhaps the last of local fresh blue crabs to arrive at the Westwego Fish market just outside New Orleans. All seafood prices have risen 25% in the past 7 days alone as stocks run low thanks to closed fishing grounds affected by oil pollution. Today was the opening day of the inshore shrimp season. The season was closed before it could open thanks to BP's disastrous environmental catastrophe out in the Gulf of Mexico. Approximately 210,000 barrels of oil per day is leaking uncontrollably into the Gulf because of the explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform 46 miles out to sea. The closure of fishing grounds both east and west of the Mississippi river outflow is crippling thousands of local fishermen and all affiliated businesses and families who rely on the seafood industry. None of the shrimp or other seafood offered at the market are fresh catch from today. Everything has been through the IQF (Instant Quick Freeze) process and is seafood caught earlier in the season and brought from storage freezers in Venice and Grand Isle. Stocks are running low. With no new catches, the market will be forced to rely on farmed shrimp shipped in from Texas and Georgia. Local traders refuse to stock Chinese import fish raised with growth hormones, pesticides, fungicides and other contaminants widely found in Chinese farm raised seafood. Many fear losing their jobs and everything they own as a result of BP's Gulf Coast environmental disaster.<br />

Red snapper at Ruthann & Rob's seafood. Currently $4.75 per lb at the Westwego Fish market just outside New Orleans. All seafood prices have risen 25% in the past 7 days alone as stocks run low thanks to closed fishing grounds affected by oil pollution. Today was the opening day of the inshore shrimp season. The season was closed before it could open thanks to BP's disastrous environmental catastrophe out in the Gulf of Mexico. Approximately 210,000 barrels of oil per day is leaking uncontrollably into the Gulf because of the explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform 46 miles out to sea. The closure of fishing grounds both east and west of the Mississippi river outflow is crippling thousands of local fishermen and all affiliated businesses and families who rely on the seafood industry. None of the shrimp or other seafood offered at the market are fresh catch from today. Everything has been through the IQF (Instant Quick Freeze) process and is seafood caught earlier in the season and brought from storage freezers in Venice and Grand Isle. Stocks are running low. With no new catches, the market will be forced to rely on farmed shrimp shipped in from Texas and Georgia. Local traders refuse to stock Chinese import fish raised with growth hormones, pesticides, fungicides and other contaminants widely found in Chinese farm raised seafood. Many fear losing their jobs and everything they own as a result of BP's Gulf Coast environmental disaster.<br />

  • 1 June, 2006. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana. First day of hurricane season. Children of the storm return home. R/L; Arthur Murph clambers out of the rubble of what remains of his home. His daughters' friend Renisha Menendez (11 yrs) retrieves an evacuation suitcase he packed for his daughter Ariana, but was never able to get out before the home was destroyed. They stand in the wreckage of what used to be Murph and Ariana's home at 1739 Jourdan Ave in the devastated Lower 9th Ward. The huge barge which smashed through the original flood wall came to rest in front of their house, where a tidal wave of water rushed through, devastating the area where so many people died. Four of Arthur's neighbours perished in the storm. Arthur was in his home when the levee breached, he claims the night of the 28th August, 2005, the night before Hurricane Katrina made landfall. Arthur smashed his way out of his roof and swam to a neighbors house where he remained for 3 days awaiting rescue. Arthur can not go into details because of a pending lawsuit. He appears in the Spike Lee movie about the storm.
