A country frozen in time, an endless wave of colors, music, poetry, and life. Cuba is my second home. My wife, from Havana, helped me discover the island in a way that only Cubans can. The first time I visited, I was instantly captivated by the endless movies that make up Havana. Every corner presents a different scene, like a film unfolding before us. Life itself is a director’s masterpiece. There is a certain energy in the air that is inexplicably intriguing and magnetic. Besides the many problems the island is going through, its people always find a way to see life and light at then of the tunnel. Music is a constant soundtrack that echoes through the streets wherever you go. Cubans dance as they stroll. There are more children playing in the streets than fish in the ocean. The photographs in this section serve as a chronicle of my life there. Enjoy!
