I asked a recent photo tour participant Jana Allingham why she went on the trip and what she got out of it. She shares her thoughts on learning more about photography, her experiences with the people of Nicaragua and her images with us.

This was the subject of a recent photography challenge here on Digital Photo Mentor and Jana certainly saw the value of it on the tour.
