Quick Rundown.
Tuesday:
- -First Day of School (got to school at 6:30 a.m.)
- -House Fire (claimed the lives of two poodles.)
- -Car Wreck (I had a REALLY interesting journalism ethics situations rise from this... but that will be it's own post in the future.)
- Night Out Against Crime (Neighbors marched through the streets... I soaked an entire shirt with sweat)
- Went down the Bayou to photograph oak trees cracking tombs in a cemetery
- Fatal Wreck... Truck vs Cop Car (Had another interesting journalism ethics situation come from this)
- Murder in Bayou Blue (Get eaten up by mosquitoes while photographing a trailer where the woman lived and talking with neighbors)
- Huge house fire in Dularge. (I think it's safe to say that it's the largest fire I've seen)
And of course Friday is the opening of my Faces of Katrina Gallery. When I wasn't at the house fire on Thursday, I was at the Museum hanging photos. Big thanks to Misty for helping out with that. She has a better eye for seeing if the frames are in line.
Anyway, here are a couple photos from the Cop Car crash and the Dularge House Fire. I've also put photo galleries on The Couriers website. One from the First Day of School, the Cop Car crash and the Dularge House Fire.
First the Cop Car crash. The passenger in the truck died... wasn't wearing a seat belt. The drivers in both vehicles were wearing seat belts. They both had mild injuries. I'll let you make the connection there.
Now the huge house fire. Nobody was injured. A few firemen were treated for heat, but are just fine. Oh, the heat index at the time of the fire was about 110. Nasty.
