Come in! There are a few adventures I’ve written about, but most of the content offers classes in photography and mentoring for photographers, including photo theory, which, although a vital part in our profession, is largely an overlooked subject in all published media that profits from and feeds our gadget minded mindset today.
CUBA: Areas visited in the latter part of March 2016, included La Habana, Pinar Del Rio, Varadero to Playa Giron, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Santa Spiritus, Santa Clara, and Jaimanitas a western suburb of La Habana. Visit —- for a more complete selection covering the entire visit.
La Habana visual sampling:
Greetings on landing in at Cuba’s Jose Marti International Airport…
Taken first day while walking along the City beachfront called Tunel de La Habana…
The City Centre just west of the Old City was the direction of the city’s expansion in the early 19th Century…
Che is an icon and at the center of this and many stores in Cuba. Always disturbed by the poverty of the Latin people and a symbol of rebellion, makes me wonder how he might feel for the Cuban people still for the most part very poor and unable to rebel…
Street in the Old City. The weather was hot during my stay, but I enjoyed walking all over the city…
This is a photograph of a work of art. There are so many old cars, but most in rough shape. Nevertheless it’s taken a lot of ingenuity to keep them running on the road for extra income, for many as Taxi’s…
Showing ladies selling their wares in the Old City at Plaza de la Catedral…
Continuing my walk along the streets of the Old City…
The interest in the Arts flourishes most notably through music, dance, and the visual arts. The sculpture and paintings at National Museum of Fine Art is amazing, but the door handle to enter was nearly falling off…
La Habana is an architectural wonder with its variety, but unfortunately crumbling. Hopefully, as with the old city of Cartagena free enterprise entrepreneurship will be revived before it is too late. There has to be a balance between the heavy hand of an outside influence, such as the US in first half of the 20th Century, and Socialist Government suppression…
The National Hotel is noted as the best in La Habana, but not to be compared to The Breakers Palm Beach…
Dominoes is the national game requiring serious concentration and they paid no attention to me…
Next, we will leave La Habana and travel west towards Pinar Del Rio Province…
