One week in Cuba on film

Great storytelling. Loved the part where you sleep and show a bunch of people sleeping. Also, found it so liberating to see you are not using a whole setup for video. Iphone, couple of film cameras and an iPhone. I get so bogged down thinking about gear and carrying it that it was so refreshing to see.

Ah you're killing me Em.. Really enjoyed every single photo. Especially any with kids.. As I see it, kids there have a good time with what they have. No smartphones being shoved in their face when they go out. Just the environment and some sports.
How did you actually get on with the basics like drinking water, power outlets etc? I hear mixed stories about Cuba all the time as you can imagine. Wonder what things you had issues with and not in general. Respect for going to the country side too!

Awesome photos Emily! I know it can't really compare, but it reminds me a little of the first time I visited San Juan last year. Havana would be a dream for me to photograph, especially on film.
