Nicholas has been taking pictures of Junkanoo since 1965. Mike has loved photography since boarding school and has had work published in print and motion pictures. For these reasons, it was only a matter of time before they published a book.
Nicholas Klonaris and his brother Charles Klonaris worked and managed Mike's Shoe Store (started by their father in 1930). They decided to sponsor the Vikings for a few years, who later joined another group to become the Saxons. Charles was the first to design three-dimensional costumes ever used in Junkanoo and Nicholas's wife, Pamela, was a judge in 1969.
