I saw very few of images of Cuba’s retired legendary leader Fidel Castro while in Cuba. He is said to keep a low profile these days. Yet Castro remains a prominent presence in the principal’s office of this elementary school. I met the principal himself in a hallway, and followed him as he walked the halls. Eventually he led me back to his office, where he seated himself at a cluttered desk, before a large portrait of Fidel Castro himself. As I was photographing the principal, a staff member came over and embraced him from behind. The image is all about authority on one hand, and human values on the other. Castro had been more or less in charge of Cuba for 50 years, while the principal is in charge of all who work and study at this school. The friendly embrace tells us how the school’s staff regards their leader.
