Havana, Cuba is among the best locales for destination travel photography if you enjoy photographing people. They are genuine, and very willing to share their life story. Typically it is an interesting story, well worth the time it takes to get to know the person-perhaps in his or her own language if possible. For me it may take 20-30 minutes before I even mention photography by asking their permission. The woman this post features was very willing to speak about her family. I visited her two or three times during my visit to Habana. One word of caution: As a couple of Cuban photographers warned me: "Be leery of the "dudes."
