several things at once
A lot was going on – kids were tossing around a volleyball (or not shown: a baseball), they were standing around (or not shown: running), there was a ballerina (or not shown: photographers), and some nice murals on the backdrop.
All in all, a good place to have been for a while.

trolling for dreams
Yeah, so I couldn’t really have posed or art-directed a scene that’s more reflective of daily life in Havana than this.

girl (with kitten)
You may remember that back in the Old Days (prior to mid-August 2022), I would actively avoid photographing people. Actively. Like head-quickly-in-the-other-direction if someone dared to intrude into my carefully constructed no-visible-people scene.
So, then maybe you’re surprised at all these images of people I’ve been posting? But no matter how surprised YOU are, I am even more shocked at this turn of events.
I saw this girl walking down a street in Havana and as soon as I saw the kitten in the carrier, I knew I needed a photo. And here we are.

a world behind the door
I can tell you right this minute that “faded beauty” is not always hyperbole: it is, in this case, exactly the right description.
Imagine if this place were freshly painted, if the stair railing were not half-way missing, if all those tiles on the wall matched. It wouldn’t be nearly as lovely, would it?
