The Cuban People
A few shots I like of Cuban people. Not a scientific, cross-section of the population, so please don't read anything into this selection!
 
This revolutionary looking guy is actually a dancer. Look for him during the day in the vicinity of the cathedral where he hangs with his wife.   A true believer of the revolution. I spent two hours with this guy learning about how the Soviets won World War II without help from the Allies.
     
 
The Historian of the University of Havana. He's been around a long time. He even knew Hemingway.   Just watching the world go by from her door.
     
 
Retired, I'm sure.
  Prostitution is increasingly a problem in Cuba.
     
 
  The president of an agricultural collective.    A farmer at an agricultural collective. 
     
 
Esteban Morales, an economist at the University of Havana's Center for the Study of the U.S.   I met the young man, Alberto, on the street. He had just moved to Havana and was jobless. He took me home and his wife fixed me lunch.
     
 
Here's Alberto's daughter, who had just turned four. They had pictures of her at birth, one week, one month, two months, etc., etc. Because Alberto was jobless, they had no money to have her photographed for her birthday, so I took a bunch and sent them from home. I hope they got there.   Rich Cubans eating at a fancy restaurant.
