Where do I even start this?

I am home from Havana,Cuba and have 2500 photos. yes, 2500. I know my approach...I want to remember EVERY second and try to capture what I saw....The unusual, the faces, the gritty. If I could only take these photos and turn them into a "scratch and sniff", I could relive the Cuban experience everyday. I loved it and would go back in an instant. Beam me there Scotty.

I like to place my age when I take photos...just in case I forget. This was a house number.


Sculpture



Art and artists




Ahem...notice the apprentice to the left.




Children






I took drawing paper and colored pencils to give to the kids



School kids


Friendly people who loved having their photo taken








Beautiful buildings and old cars








We were invited into homes





I saw lots of dogs


Religious icons


Statues



Grafitti




and me.
