Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-first century Cuba is culturally rich, economically poor and yet has an energy that is infectiously uplifting. It was eighteen years ago when Sarah, a photographer, first travelled to Cuba, so she was pleasantly surprised to find that on her second visit in 2013, visibly, not a great deal had changed. There is no McDonalds or garish neon advertising, and the old Chevrolet cars are still everywhere in 2013 Cuba. Cuba is an alluring country trapped in a 1950’s time warp - well-suited to capturing in black and white photography.Discovering the real Cuba on foot is the only way to explore the ‘gritty reality’ of the place. In this photographic book, Sarah wanders the back streets of beautiful Havana, the classical french architectural city of Cienfuegos and the enchanting 19th century colonial town of Trinidad, capturing the daily lives on the street - the real essence of Cuba.
