Lakeside Mall. A potentially controversial/satirical Christmas display is part of the main festive attraction at the mall created by local designer Frank Evans. Part of the display, (complete with a miniature train ridden by children) features an 'Affordable Health Care Hospital.' (Bottom right of image). Standing in line are model customers apparently holding out paperwork, possibly health care bills. Also included is a hearse, coffin, corpse and a strange looking man in a bright orange jump suit along with what would appear to be a migrant worker wearing a sombrero sitting in the back of a pickup truck. Evans was also responsible for a fairly controversial display in 2005 following hurricane Katrina.<br />

  • 10 June 2010. Breton Sound Marina, Hopedale, Louisiana. USA.  <br />
Breton Sound Marina in Hopedale. Over 1,000 people now work in what was, just weeks ago empty fields. A city is rising out of the marshes to deal with the BP's catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Workers load and unload, repair and haul miles and miles of oil boom. The 'hard boom' is not owned by BP or the federal government. It is leased with prices allegedly over $1.00 a linear foot per day. In St Bernard Parish alone there is over 200,000 linear feet of hard boom. Someone, somewhere is making a fortune on the back of this crisis. Workers are hired by contractors, who themselves are hired by bigger contractors. Yet again, the middle men are making a fortune on the backs of workers and on the back of this crisis. The scandal continues to grow.<br />
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 oil and gas production. They are the most fertile wetlands and nurseries of their kind in the world. BP's oil is killing everything.<br />

In St Bernard Parish alone there is over 200,000 linear feet of hard boom. Someone, somewhere is making a fortune on the back of this crisis. Workers are hired by contractors, who themselves are hired by bigger contractors. Yet again, the middle men are making a fortune on the backs of workers and on the back of this crisis. The scandal continues to grow.<br />
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 oil and gas production. They are the most fertile wetlands and nurseries of their kind in the world.

  • 1 July 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Earl Jackson, City Park. 58 yr old Jackson moved to New Orleans from Georgia in October 2005 in search of work. He moved to the unauthorised  migrant workers encampment at City Park, where many workers and drifters lived in tents and trailers. He slept on the outdoor couch the previous night. The camp was forcibly emptied and the residents evicted under court order just after midnight on July 1st. Jackson is the last resident, picking his way through the remnants of the camp. Life has been tough for Jackson, living in a tent in the park next to a creek with snakes, spiders, alligators and mosquitos. His tools were stolen early on, his ride towed. His health has deteriorated. He has a septic spider bite inside his thigh, small flies dine on wounds on his legs, he must shower and shave under an outdoor hose. The only possessions he has left are all kept in a shopping cart. The city removed the mobile toilets forcing Jackson to defecate in the woods. He does not know where he will go now. He will likely end up amongst the city's homeless population.
