I caught a splash of color between a group of buildings, following the highway North of La Dalia. We parked the truck at road’s edge. With the morning’s mist upon the Peñas Blancas in the background. A splash of yellow in the foreground, I captured the above composition.
I was travelling North of Jinotega up in the mountains last week. We stopped at a coffee Finca. I was strolling along a path with camera gear. I spotted a small papayas growing by a house.
All the elements were here for a great composition. The flowers, immature fruit. Beautiful lighting. The result was the above composition
So until next time, happy trails
Love this photo. A mother with her vendor cart was approaching me. In the corner of the cart was her little boy, fast asleep. I walked up to the Mother. I spoke a few words. My Spanish is limited. I asked her for permission to photograph her son. Photographed in Jinotega, Nicaragua
A young lady poked her head out the window of her house. She may have been looking to see what was happening around her. Or maybe waiting for someone. I asked if I may photograph her. She gave me the attitude that she did not care.
Interesting story here. The kids are gathered at a street corner. The youngest group are gathered by the door talking among themselves. That is until they noticed me. Then I got the beautiful smiles. In the middle are three older girls having a discussion. Two boys sitting in the lower right of photo studying the chess game for the next move.
Walking around the street corner, this fella jumped up and asked if I would take his photo. Sure I told him. He then sat back down in doorway. I photo graphed him. Showed him the photo. He looked, smiled and sat back down in doorway. I shook hands and moved on.
Strolling along the street I noticed an older lady sitting on a step. It was late evening. Thus she was relaxing after a day of labor. With her permission I captured her image
Everyday you will find this gentleman push his cart up the street in Jinotega and set up in the same location. His source of income is selling bananas.
Whenever he is hungry he eats a banana or two.
I spoke to him about taken his photo. He was okay with that.
I came upon this scene walking the streets of Jinotega one evening. The mesh softens the over all composition. The clothes add color and depth.
The streets of Jinotega
A spur of the moment capture. I caught sight of the boy scooting down the street. I followed him with the lens.

I was walking in a new neighborhood in Jinotega, that I had not been before. The lighting was good during a late afternoon. Rain was threatening. A rather large dog appeared on my left across the street.
The dog appeared quite suddenly, poking its head through a narrow opening in the metal door. There was a lot of vertical lines in the scene. Therefore I created a vertical composition.
