D500_CUBA_12_16_700_FINAL_IP

For those of us who believe in physics, the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion

– Albert Einstein

 

 

This image is from a trip to Cuba I took in December of 2016.

 

 

I am working on images for my solo show of my images of Cuba that will happen sometime end of this year beginning of next at the Museo National Bellas Artes in Havana Cuba (the National Museum of Fine Art) I have been going through all of the 500,000 give or take frames I have shot so far.

 

 

The concept behind this project is to photograph the echos of the past that are still present today. What makes Cuba unique, almost wholly unique, is the it is caught in a bubble of 1962. I have several ongoing projects to capture the echo of Myanmar, India, Paris and New York City. Of all of these projects Cuba and Myanmar are the most complete.

 

 

Light, gesture and color are the three key elements of any image, with gesture being the most important consideration. In addition to these three ememnts there is a fourth concept- time, specifically timelessness. A successful image is one where gesture is served but the “when” is not definable.

 

 

I shot this with the D500 NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. 20 plus year project is 1/400 of a second ISO 100. Image raw processed in NX Studio and Photoshop CC with the NiK collection.
