Walking around Havana my first day I was struck by the amazing textures of the city. The city is falling apart, with layer upon layer of brick, concrete, paint and stucco protruding like innards from a once thriving metropolis. I started photographing these textures right from the start, knowing that I’d be able to use them later to add depth and character to my photographs. I’ve never considered myself an artist, choosing instead to practice documentary photography and let the camera and my eye do the work. Below you’ll find something quite different. You’ll find my interpretation of Cuba and its people. All of these images contain multiple layers of information, some utilizing dozens of photographs sandwiched together to make a single composite. Take your time to look into the background. Your patience will be rewarded… much like doing the “I Spy” in the newspaper as a child.
