Chrysler in Cuba

This is an even older photo – but still one that I love. Taken long ago on a trip to Cuba outside the Hotel Nacional in Havana. It’s one of the pictures that made it to the randomly generated header photos for the blog too…

This old Chrysler, beautifully kept, was a stark contrast to some of the other cars and buildings nearby. Known to some as ‘Yank Tanks’, some of these pre-revolution imports look to have weathered more than this incredible car.

Fish Heads

Fish heads in a bucket

Taken in Maine on a dreary day. We were outside taking pictures of the water and boats, before I saw the piles of fish heads on the floor. Slippery? Yes. Smelly? Yep. This bucket stood out because of the old leathery look.
