CUBA: SUSPENDED IN TIME
A former Spanish colonial mansion in Havana,
which is now a hive of small apartments.

An inventive Cuban finds a way to deliver wood
outside Santiago, on the east end of the island.

In the window of the bus, a revolutionary
message reads: "Venceremos," or we shall
overcome. The bus probably hasn't moved
since shortly after Fidel took power.

A row of vintage 50s cars lined up by
the old Capitol in downtown Havana.

UNWITTING PHOTO OP: Caught dozing on the front page of La Jornada, one of Mexico City's largest newspapers. Courtesy of a pal photographer, as we both waited for a press conference, I became an illustration for either the unlikelihood or length of time it would take before former Mexican President Carlos Salinas would submit to citizens' demands that he stand trial, as the sign next to me reads. (Photo taken in 1996, while I wrote for The Mexico City Times.)
