do not go gently

I was looking back through the images I made a few years ago on a photo trip to Havana and found some that didn’t catch my attention at the time.

Like this one, which I made on the first night in the country, of a vintage car driving in front of the Hotel Inglaterra. As we explored the neighborhood around the Parque Central, rolling blackouts rolled around.  It was a little surreal, the way the buildings would be flooded with light one minute and then gone when the lights went black. It was a regular thing, day and night, and I never got used to it.

It wasn’t exactly soaring through the air, but it was also not quite earthbound. (Which is, now that I think about it, the way I feel a lot of the time.)

Last week at dinner a fairly new friend of mine said, “I thought about you the other day. I was driving down the road and saw this old car in a pasture. It was raised up off the ground and it seemed like something you’d like to photograph.”

My friends are really good location scouts!

“Hands off my education, hands off my social security – you know, I paid into that and I want to receive it back. We have to do whatever it takes so they can hear our voices.”
