Artist Statement
I enjoy taking photos while I am traveling. I am always looking for photos that tell a story of a place, and not just a shot of an iconic image.
While walking around Cuba, this setting captured the spirit of a community. It shows the pride of the taxi driver as he displays the Cuban flag on his motorcycle is three different ways. It shows a community that uses all available resources as evident by the many different railings and gates. The well kept house plants in the window sill, show someone who cares about their environment, someone wanting a spot of green in their city-scape. And the classic American car captures the political turmoil that is Cuba.
