    About the Book

    Edit

    The beautifully crumbling facades of buildings and infrastructure attract many visitors from all over the world who wish to catch a nostalgic glimpse of the 1940s and 1950s Cuba. However, this nostalgic beauty, and the disarming warmth of the people of Cuba, hides a reality that faces most Cubans; a reality of poverty and oppressed aspirations. Cuba has seen little change since the Revolution instigated by Fidel Castro Ruz in 1959 and there is a strong hidden desire for desperately needed change. Change is not easy in Cuba, for there is great reverence for Fidel Castro, even if the faith in the Revolution and its rhetoric has long since faded. Taken mainly in La Habana Province, this collection of photographs is the result of long aimless wanderings around the streets of Havana and the surrounding La Habana province. Moments and fragments present themselves in front of the camera to tell moving stories of a Cuba in a state of waiting.
