57 Fairlane Rocking in the Rain

I was renting a small room in a private house in Trinidad, Cuba and this classic Ford Fairlane was always parked across the street. Everyday, as I would begin my excursions, I would see it there all alone. As if it was calling out to me…waiting for me to come take its photo. Well one […]

Akumal Bay in the Shade

Here is another photo from lovely Akumal bay in the Rivera Maya, Mexico. This is one of those lazy beaches where you can just pick out a palm tree and lay underneath it all day while being serenaded by the gentle waves. On this day, I walked around the whole bay stopping only to take […]

Cigar Smoking Grandmas

As you stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Havana, you’ll encounter these colorful older ladies all along Obispo or Mercaderes streets. They just chill all day enjoying a huge cigar (or two) and engage everyone who passes by into friendly conversation. They will happily oblige if someone wants to snap a photo. Oh, but you […]

I have posted many photos of the crystal blue waters in Akumal taken during the day. Here is a shot at night. I was hanging out with a friend and had been taking photos most of the afternoon. My buddy finally convinced me to stop shooting and join him for a beer and dinner at […]

The Tobacco Farmhouse

When I visited the tobacco farmlands of Viñales, I never realized I would get such an education. After the tobacco is picked, it is brought to these special tobacco houses. This is where tobacco leaves are tied into bunches and hung out to dry for about 30-40 days as part of the process prior to […]
