Eight portraits presented by Hugh O'Shaughnessy 3: Estrada
'We've had more visitors since they opened the new road than in the previous 300 years.' Estrada, on Costa Rica's
Atlantic coast, is a railway village - the railway line is the main street, and until recently it was the only connection with the capital, San Jose. Now, life in Estrada is changing, and white. Spanish-speaking Catholics are beginning to outnumber the black, English-speaking Anglicans.

1: Geronimo: He Who Yawns 'When the last red man shall have perished and the memory of my tribe shall have become a myth among the white man, these shores will swarm with the invisible dead of my tribe.' Leader of the Chiricahua Apache, Geronimo led his people against the military might and colonising armies of the United States and Mexico. It finally took 10,000 soldiers to capture him and his 19 warriors in 1886. He was never allowed to return to his desert homeland of Arizona; instead, he was dumped in the damp, swampy climate of Florida, where he died aged 79.
