Tales of Two Cities

I’ve been volunteering for several months during evenings and weekends to help my friend, Professor Stephen Svenson of Waterloo University to edit together the three episodes of his documentary “Tales of Two Cities,” which focuses on the state of affairs in New Orleans after Katrina.

What better day to bring an update than Fat Tuesday?

More NOLA Data

I had a chance to pull all the footage off my video camera I took down to New Orleans in February. Here’s a semi-random sampling/preview of the footage I obtained. There hasn’t been any polishing yet, as you can see. And hear. I’m a bit upset with the sound quality of some takes (you’ll hear the lapel mic peak frequently).

Ninth Ward Doc & Volunteering Expedition

In February of 2010 I joined Professor Stephen Svenson along with a few other volunteers down in New Orleans, LA. We were going to the Ninth Ward for an update on the situation there, for the documentary. We were also there to volunteer (we helped dig up and replace a sewer line).

I managed to see Mardi Gras while I was down there, which was on a Tuesday and only a week after the Saints had won the superbowl. These are some of my favourite photographs from the trip.
