Help With 'for' Loop

Sorry to be such a pest today.  I'm working on a sh script that uses a 
for loop.  To test, I've written the following:

for i in `/usr/bin/find /multimedia/Pictures -iname "*.jpg" -or -iname 
"*.gif" -print`
        do
        echo -e "\n$i"
done

The first line 'find' returns is "/multimedia/Pictures/1998 
Christmas/April01.JPG"

Yet 'echo $i' only returns "/multimedia/Pictures/1998", stopping at the 
first space.  Is it possible to get 'i' to represent the whole string 
that 'find' returns?  If so, how?

Thanks,

Drew
