There is a saying that I love; 'To travel is to discover that everybody is wrong about the other countries.' Exactly!
On my first flight to Cuba in 2016, I was both fascinated and faced with poverty. Wonderful old cars and peeling buildings. A country that tries to live off tourism and on the other hand, it doesn't really care about the 'service sector'. Medicine is advanced but the food is not very healthy (for example, there were no vegan options anywhere). But still, Old Havana and its people warmed my heart.
Jorge, something very interesting happened. I was looking at the photos and remembered the corner where the man playing the saxophone was and I even remembered the dancing woman with the flowered scarf on her head in the photo. I took a photo there in 2018 and the woman is dancing in my frame. What a sweet coincidence.
You look at what's in front of you in such a raw (ha!) and intimate way! My favorite journalist/journalism educator, Roy Peter Clark, says "one human is more memorable than tons of data." Love all these quotes and photos "in between."
This reminds me of Alex Webb🥂 Great layering👌👌
