This award-winning image is called Real Life in Havana -- it tells the story that most tourists don't see, but is real and true. Per usual, I was running late to meet up with some people, and decided to take a short cut that would by-pass the tourist path. As I was running, I glanced west -- the lighting down the street was perfect. I stopped long enough just to get the one shot.
This image is called Love on the Malecon. The Malecon is a seawall along the coast in Havana where locals and tourists gather to enjoy the water and the view, especially in the late afternoon and evenings. I had gone down to the Malecon at the end of a packed-full day, and became immediately enamoured with the ambiance. Truly, Love on the Malecon.
I did take a few rolls of color film with me -- thankfully. The colors, especially of the buildings, were wonderful. This shot is called Schoolgirl and Car, and was shot in Trinidad, Cuba.
Our group took a day trip out to a small village called Vinales. This image from that afternoon is called Girl with Band. Though this was in a small cafe in Vinales, the scene of musicians in cafes and restaurants is everywhere -- excellent live music is part of the Cuban culture, day and night.
