cuban people doing cuban things

these sweet old ladies
harangued us some
as we passed without buying a postcard
or paying them for taking their picture
sweet old ladies gotta make a living too
-
cuban street corner
a dignified old man
old enough to have participated in the revolucion
standing beneath the cuban flag
it's a damn postcard
-
notice the strata of cars
1950's american, late model korean, 70's russian
-
the streetscape reflects the societal paradoxes
that are growing deeper in cuba
socialism's dark shadows
-

romantic courtyard wedding

in historic habana

lending a brother a hand

the apple not falling far from the tree
