            | Visiting 
              Nicaragua was an experience in contradictions. The people have lived 
              in repression and poverty, but show amazing endurance and character. 
              The land has been worn to the dirt and rock, but has proven to be 
              remarkably fertile when properly tended. |  |  | 
           
            | This 
                collection is an attempt to show visually the conflicting sights 
                from my trip. For each picture of beauty I brought back, there 
                is also a similar one that exposes harsh reality. However, it 
                is not always the best looking view that reveals the brighter 
                future. |  |
