Something wrong here?


I took this picture on a missions trip to Nicaragua. The participants on the trip were a group of Canadian teens and I was tagging along to capture a story for our organization's magazine. Also along with us, was a camera crew from the U.S. head office.

This picture is taken in the main dump of Managua. Families live around the outskirts of the dump and they work collecting refuse and selling what they can to try and make a living.

Here a couple of Canadian team members stop to talk to a woman and two boys. Our camera crew finds it photo worthy and capture the moment on film.

Is it just me or is there something disturbing about this photo? I can't quite put my finger on it.
