Front Row Seats Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

These kids, and their parents in the background, were waiting for one of the nightly Purisima Concepción de Maria processions to come by in the week long celebration in early December. They seemed to have picked a good location except that when the procession went by, the main float was completely surrounded by hundreds of people walking with it which, standing or sitting, made it hard to see anyone except those right around you.]]>

I saw no clue on the street as to what it was that stimulated this guy’s curiosity.

Laugh Now Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

I’m not even sure what kind of creatures those are, but I’d be lying if I said the thought of them being in charge doesn’t make me at least a little big nervous. But realistically, if it was Congress they were taking over, how much worse could it be? (I usually try to steer clear of politics in my blog posts, but considering the record low approval ratings of Congress, I figured the likelihood of me seriously offending anyone with that comment was pretty slim.)]]>

Last week I attended the reception for an exhibit of Elevations, a collection of my grain elevator photographs, at the Dahl Art Center in Rapid City, South Dakota. Prior to the reception, I was interviewed for South Dakota Public Radio by Victoria Wicks. You can see a writeup and listen to the interview here.

I did not stick around to see what, if anything, a chicken does when it gets across the road.]]>

Grenada Street Mashup Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

In order to show the broad range of colors of Grenada’s buildings I created this composite image. That different bright colors often occur side by side is evident by the fact that it’s somewhat difficult to tell whether some of the color changes in the composite occur where two separate photos are butted together or at a actual change in paint color along a street. To see a larger version of this image showing more detail, click here.  ]]>

You Can’t Always Get What You Want Masaya, Nicaragua 2013

The city of Grenada was for the most part pretty clean. Not so down the road in Masaya. There’s a billboard on the way into town with a message that translates as “I want my Masaya clean.”]]>

I’d want the job of the guy in the window in the white shirt.
