“Beginning in 1993, I photographed the streets of Cuba for some 15 years. This was my last major project using Kodachrome, my film of choice for some 30 years. It seems fitting to have photographed the Caribbean island with this richly saturated film, since both Cuba and Kodachrome can feel caught out of time, stuck in the amber of the 1950s and 1960s. “Eight years after I took this photograph, Rebecca Norris Webb and I – to our great surprise – decided to bring together her images of Cuban menageries and my street photographs in order to create our first collaborative book, Violet Isle, a multilayered portrait of Cuba.”
