This is the cover of Manuel Esquivel's Photo book. His first book. It's on the plight of the Nicaraguan banana workers and their poisoning with agricultural pesticides.

It's a story that he worked at for one year and I edited for the paper. The book itself is a project that The Central American History Institue helped us with. Claudia Gordillo edited the book and Margarita Vannini gave us a hand with the money.

Thanks to all involved.

It's not much but it's our baby.

Things We do for a living...

Our freinds in Caracas having a good time.
