THE BLACK CORAL FACTORY OF MANAGUA
I don’t recall exactly how it all transpired as I write this nearly 40 years after it happened. I was in Managua in July of 1987 visiting some old friends and seeing how the Sandinista Revolution had been progressing since I left in 1985. I was keen to see some black coral. I had documented…

DOWN UPON THE SUWANNEE RIVER
Spring Break. April 1980 Spring break is a time to head south and party on some Florida beach. After weathering a Wisconsin winter, I had Spring fever, no doubt about it.
