Your photography is just stunning. Keep up the great work. I love all your photos from Cuba, makes me want to go there so bad.

Thanks for the kind words. I am Cuban/Puerto Rican. I grew up in Miami hearing stories from my family about Camagüey & Cuba. I finally had the opportunity to visit two years ago.  Its funny because its only 90 miles away, but you may as well be going to the moon. I started my blog to share what life in Cuba is like with people like me who never had to visit. 

I've been working on a photography project based on the life my grandparents left behind in Camaguey after the revolution. I'm going back very soon to work on the next chapter of this project. Stay tuned!

Thanks David.

I love your portraits. Always such beautiful light. We should have a coffee or beer sometime.

I'd love to hear how the shoot went last night. I ended up seeing Marina sing at the Luminato courtyard later that night.
