Fonville Winans sailed on his boat, The Pintail, during the summers of 1932 and 1934 to swamps, barrier islands, and reefs, from Grand Isle to New Orleans to the Atchafalaya, crafting his photographic skill and making friends. Now the photographer's words and images offer a fascinating inner look at Fonville and the world as he saw it.
