the strongest remain

You know your guide and driver are reading the room when they make non-routine stops (without even being asked)  – for important things like roadside ruins or newly blossoming almond trees or the light hitting a hillside town in just the right way – so the photographers could pile out and do our things.

This is a typical scene in Cuba – some ad hoc sports going on in a vacant lot, laundry drying on a balcony rail, and a random guy hanging out.

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.
