Rainbow Umbrella, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, 1981

"Playful halo fom Devil's Cataract teases a photographer and his assistant who came prepared for the drenching mist of Victoria Falls. No photographs, though, ever capture the sound and fury of the Zambezi River that—like the power of Zimbabwe in its second year—may be beautiful or perilous."

—From "After Rhodesia, a Nation Named Zimbabwe," November 1981, National Geographic magazine
