communication

If you were wondering if there was a place where cell-phone usage overlaps with pay-phone utilization, I may have found it.

Our intrepid leader spent a long time showing us how to make these kinds of shots. My success rate was…well, right at 0% (and I am rounding up). But this one is passable. Maybe.

el dandy and the carwash

Everything happening everywhere. Everything happening everywhere at the same time. Everything happening everywhere at the same time all day and all night.

laundry/dance

That day at the Laundry Place (which is how I will always remember it) was otherworldly. I found myself unable to stop photographing the room. I used one camera, then another, then changed lenses. Then I used my phone. Then a camera. Etc.

And I know a lot of Cuban photography tours visit this place, but that day it felt like I was the only one who’d ever seen the magic of the laundry dancing in front of me.

sometimes there are too many contrasts

There was a lot going on here.

It was the first night of my long-anticipated, often-delayed trip to Cuba. I was trying to settle in to what I was seeing and feeling. The contrasts (in both of those things) left me feeling unsettled, and it was a feeling that stayed with me the whole I time I was there.
