While Chris Ann and I were staying at 21C Museum Hotel, we saw a piece of a collection called Cuba, that moved me.
Michael Easton is a world renowned photographer known for his contemporary photography that focuses on architecture and it’s textures of decay. His photographs have a painterly quality to them, that leaves you wanting to enter in and pull up a chair.
They made me long to travel to untouched places, places frozen in time. His paintings also left an indelible mark of wanting to know more about Cuba. I wanted to know about the people that lived in these spaces and hear their stories.
Michael Easton is currently working on a book called Havana. You can read about the book’s journey HERE.
Every photograph captures Cuba as it was and is, unchanged… and yet the picture requires you to react, to be involved. I highly recommend if you can see one of his collections, do so. Also, order the book Havana at Amazon.
