  • 11th Feb, 2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. A horse towing a float falls and is unable to get up as Mardi Gras begins with the traditional walking parade of Krewe du Vieux. Starting in the Faubourg Marigny and winding its way through the French Quarter, thousands of people lined the streets to enjoy one of the things New Orleans does best. A great street party was had by all who attended. Satire abounded in the costumes, poking fun at government and FEMA response to Hurricane Katrina. The horse survived the ordeal and was later able to get up and walk away.

  • 21 May 2010. Grand Isle, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. .BP Macondo Well Disaster. L/R; Nicholas Major (10), Maggie Hurdle (8), Taylor Hurdle (11) and Matthew Major (11) are upset that their vacation is ruined by oil on the beach. 'Our beaches are ruined,' said Maggie. Their parents are cutting short their trip and returning home in the morning. The child tourists dodged oil as authorities closed the beaches. Oil washes ashore in greater concentrations than previously seen on the once pristine beaches of Grand Isle. The economic and environmental impact is devastating with shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips cancelled with police chasing tourists from the beaches just two hours drive from New Orleans..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. .Photo credit; Charlie Varley.

  • 13 July 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Christian Volunteers. Group Workcamps Foundation (GWF). Carrolton United Methodist Church. Groups of around 100 Christian affiliated church kids of predominantly high school age come from all across the USA to the city for a 5 day week where they put in an average of 2,080 hours of community service as they volunteer to gut, clean and rebuild houses for residents in Katrina ravaged parts of New Orleans. The kids and their carers live in an old church Uptown where they sleep in segregated dormitories and all pitch in in a communal atmosphere. Kids celebrate the end of their week together and mess around in one of their dormitories on the last night of their trip. GWF, formed in 1976, based in Loveland, Colorado organises religious missions volunteering in disaster recovery at no charge to residents. The city would not be rebuilt without their help. They are a Godsend to those they help and are greatly appreciated for all that they do for those they help.

  • 05 May 2010. Venice, Louisiana. Deepwater Horizon, British Petroleum environmental oil spill disaster.<br />
ARCA NASCAR rising star and environmental activist Leilani Munter takes in the unnatural disaster created by BP on a trip into the Gulf of Mexico. Leilani inspects sludge in the water 10 miles south of Venice Marina and approximately 34 miles from the site of the Deepwater Horizon's sunken oil platform. The sludge is a gelatinous mix with the consistency of diarrhea, sometimes clumped together in large masses so thick you can not see the ocean through it. The water, for miles and miles is filled with small pea shaped clumps, most the size of every kind of fish food available from small fish shape to shrimp to plankton. It is everywhere. The sheen on the surface is everywhere. It stretches for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles. Dead Jellyfish shrivel in the mix, the main seafood of turtles passing through at this time of year. What have we done?<br />

Captain 'Kid,' the boat captain who later helped to save her life stands behind her. On a later trip, a marlins' sharp sword like nose punctured Denise's chest, through her breast implant and out of her back as she shot the video. Denise barely survived the horrific attack off the Panamanian coast where she was sport fishing. Denise and her doctors have credited her breast implant with saving her life. <br />

  • 26 May 2010. Barataria Bay, Louisiana. <br />
From Barataria Bay to Grand Isle. Shrimp boats, ordinarily skimming the bay for shrimp are loading boom these days to try and keep the oil at bay. The environmental and economic impact is devastating with many shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips cancelled the only business for shrimpers is loading and laying boom and working for big oil. 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. <br />

The economic impact is devastating with shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips are cancelled. The only real business is cleaning up big oil's disasterous screw up. 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. <br />

Just off deserted Isle Grande Terra, east of Grand Isle.  Local fishermen have never seen anything so 'spooky,' 'creepy.' Where normally there are boats, fishermen, shrimpers, bait fish skimming the surface and thousands of birds there is little but a sheen of oil washing ashore as the black tide of death continues to encroach upon everything in the region.

Dredging operations begin just off the coast of Grande Terre Island near Gand Isle as local authorities prepare to build up the marsh land to protect the coast from further oil penetration. The environmental and economic impact is devastating with many shrimp boats tied up, vacation rentals and charter boat fishing trips cancelled the only business for shrimpers is loading and laying boom and working for big oil.
