Boxing in Granada

Boxing.Grenada.08Amateur boxing from Granada Nicaragua. This was a blast, the little kids were amazing. Life for the kids in Grenada is touch, there are so many “lost children” who live on the streets and sniff glue to kill hunger, misery, and boredom. Seeing these kids boxing was great, and in the amazing setting of colonial Granada it was even more amazing.
Photos were shot at a high iso late in the day. I processed them using a film emulator and a shadow booster. I was going for a gritty 1970′s Sports Illustrated look.
