mercado industrial (reflexión)
It is still weird to me that my eyes will parse out reflections to see what’s actually in a scene, but my camera’s like, “Nope. You gotta see it the way I see it.” and keeps all the stuff I wouldn’t have noticed.
But on the other hand, how nice that the camera shows me a man who is roughly the size of a backpack (and to make it a little more trippy – he’s WEARING a backpack.)

watch repair
It seems like probably everyone has a certain degree of understanding about this aspect of Cuban life – shortages of various things means there are a lot of repairs being done. This man was a very busy repairing watches (let’s assume that his own watch kept good time – a detail I wish I had thought about noticing). Around the corner there was a cell-phone repair place. And just up the street on the very same block as the watch repair place was the motorcycle repairman that I posted previously.

everything but the kitchen sink
I *may* have followed this woman for a few blocks trying to get a shot of her new sink. I wish I’d seen the place where she purchased it – I did go into one store that was nearby and saw their section titled “quincalla” (hardware) but never made it to the section for “fregaderos de cocina” (kitchen sinks).

exhausting
This is an extremely typical street scene, with a tight mix of cars and people and streetcar tracks and motorcycles. And cobblestones and asphalt and potholes and puddles. Oh, and some exhaust fumes, too.

it was his move
If I knew anything more than just the most basic of things about chess, perhaps I could offer an analysis of what was going on in this street-side game.
So, really, the only thing I can offer is to note that it’s cool the way those chess pieces are the same color as the wall.
