Cuba was an adventure. I went without my film cameras, instead using my phone. My wife appreciated that, especially in Old Havana. Why? It was pretty intense, and one did not want to hang in one spot for very long, fiddling with camera, and exposure settings. It would just attract too much attention. The hustlers see $$. So, we had to keep on the move to get away from them. Standing was almost always next to a large, pile of rotting garbage, and other smelly things. Walking in Havana, one has to keep one eye down on the pavement so not to step on anything from garbage to human bodily waste, and animal corpses, and the other eye on photo ops/dodging hustlers... The chap in the photo was rummaging through the bins. A block down were a group of children playing soccer, on the sidewalk, with a ball with no air...We were only in Old Havana for two hours. That was enough! We were exhausted when we got back to the hotel (out of Old Havana). That's another story!
