So, I went to Cuba at the beginning of April. It’s taken me this long to get through the photos. This is also the first post I’ve put up in like 7 months. Which is nuts – because I’ve had some good shoots.
But, anyway, here they are – a wide assortment of people, places and things. I went with my friend Ryan (who you will see in these photos). It was sort of a last minute thing, but it worked out really well. Him and I were at some all inclusive in Santa Clara – which was essentially about 500 very large, very obnoxious Quebeckers. Oh, who were also drunk basically ALL the time. Real classy.
Anyway, after about a three days of that, we decided it was enough. We needed to get out. So, we went to a small town called Remedios. Some of the pics below are from that drive. The next day, we took a flight to Havana and stayed there for a day and a night. Let me just say that Havana could be the most beautiful city in the world – if they fixed it. Old Havana is super cool, but the remainder of it could really be unbelievable. That being said, the crumbling facades made for beautiful views. The boardwalk is essentially a five mile expanse of worn out buildings and a rocky beach that no one goes on. There is a tide wall that prevents the water from coming onto the road. It could be so vibrant, but it wasn’t.
But, the music! Music everywhere. It was awesome. We were even able to see the surviving members of Buena Vista Social Club, which was a real treat.
Anyway, enough talking. Check out the photos.
