very good story about why & how a photo series plus some incredible photos
http://www.cubaabsolutely.com/articl....php?landa=122

read the text about why the photographer decided to shoot this series, then watch the video about him shooting it, and wrap it up by watching a slide slow of the actual photos. It is about dancers from the Cuban National Ballet photographed around the City of Havana. I must meet this photographer on my next visit. BTW, this is the real Cuba.

caution: contains nothing about boken, lenses, or cameras; just excellent photography

Okay...I'm not alone in this thinking...

Very nice photographs...interesting way he got into doing this project...I also love the fact that even without a camera he was shooting in his head...

Maybe the lesson here is that he did not begin as a photographer looking for something to photograph. Instead he fell in love with the Havana National Ballet, wanted others to appreciate it, so bought a camera and began photographing the dancers in various locations around Havana.
