I also made this image from a rooftop high over the center of downtown Havana. It is the early morning light that gives this image its beauty, abstraction, and meaning. That light reflects off the pavement, creating a river of gold from top to bottom of the well-worn concrete. I photographed the passage of numerous people and automobiles upon this gilded street. This is the image that creates the simplest and most relevant message. The extended shadows of the pedestrians lengthen their strides. The 1950’s American car, its characteristic tail fins clearly defined, anchors the image at the bottom of the frame. It seems to chase the shadow of its own colorful history. This is Havana, both present and past.
