When President Obama declared his intention to normalize relations with Cuba, I decided to go in February 2015 and capture images of Cuba before it began to change with the advent of US tourism. I spent 6 days in Havana and 3 days in Trinidad, a small town in the countryside, taking photos. Havana was clearly once one of the wealthiest cities in the world which stunning architecture. However, almost 60 years of neglect has taken a toll on the city, with some of the buildings in Old Havana simply collapsing from a lack of maintenance. But the Cuban people were wonderful.
