Commuter, Havana, Cuba, 2012

I caught this commuter peering from the window of a bus as it stopped nearby. The reflected light gives both the glass and the man a warm glow, expressing the attitude of the Cuban people we encountered during our stay in Havana. Like many of his fellow commuters, he wears a tank top shirt to cope with the intense heat and humidity. Havana’s buses are not air conditioned – and they often are overcrowded.

Cuba was all about human values, Celia. I found them everywhere, particularly when people were in transition, as this man is at the moment.

There is a wonderful sense of warmth, acceptance and tolerance of the harsh life in Cuba that comes through this image. I like that you try to express the human values of the people you witness in their day-to-day lives.
