In the summer of 2008, Reid packed up his camera and set off for his first ever trip to the Latin America that exists outside of his native Miami. The purpose of the trip was not to photograph; but rather it was to participate as an international volunteer in Diriamba, a medium size town in the mountains of Coraza just 25 miles south of Managua. During the project Reid found the opportunity to photographically explore Nicaragua’s people and natural landscape and record his own experiences.
