Centro Havana, Cuba – Update #2

 

Some more photos from scouting locations for the editorial shoot in Centro Habana. Lots of beautiful architecture and beautiful buildings and cars! Still feeling hostility from the people who don’t seem to like “tourists” taking photos of where they live (I don’t blame them) and being here in general. Most don’t warm up until I start speaking my pathetic sounding Spanish to them and explain that “Estoy Cubana pero vivo en Los Angeles, California y mi espanol es muy malo.”
