Upon my return to photography I quickly scooped up a Graphite XT2 which totally blew away and X100T. I shot both for about a month and an opportunity arose to do an even trade for an X-Pro 2 and I quickly scooped that one and along the way I sold the X100T and picked up an X100F so I could have matching sensors. In my mind I thought I was ok. A few weeks have passed already and I began to enjoy the X-Pro 2 so much so that I pondered selling the X100F. I mean, I like it but I like the vibe of the X-Pro 2 that much more. I didn’t give it to much though because I know myself, I would…

I’m getting back in the groove of processing and starting to get the hand of Capture One. These were taken from my recent trip to Cuba back in June of this year.

Walking through the streets of La Habana you encounter the old with the new as they clash together and form this new amalgam of what their current society is living. Here we see the famous bici-taxi as he checks he’s messaging app ( I guess or or social media app) in a stark contrast that just a few years ago was not seen.

While walking through the streets of “La Habana, Cuba” I came upon this great scene of what seemed like a Taxi driver staking someone out or waiting for that certain person. I just love the street photography especially in Cuba.

Lost in Time
Walking through Havana was a surreal experience. The city is filled with a certain sense of energy that is very difficult to describe. I walked and walked endlessly throughout the streets of La Havana and the colors, the contrast, the highlights, the clothing of the people, the cars, in fact just about everything, is worthy of being photographed in the city. The entire city seems to be painted with slide film reminiscent of Kodachrome hence the processing with Classic Chrome.
Classic Chrome feels like Kodachrome
What does that mean? What does Kodachrome feel like? It’s tough to explain. But Steve McCurry put it very well when he famously said that Kodachrome (the film) had, “more poetry in it, a softness, an elegance.”
Here’s a small sampling of some images I’ll continue to share in this blog.
