Dilapidated buildings. Classic American cars. Rum and cigars. Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Aspects of Cuba, to be sure, but superficial ones at best. Beneath these clichés live the Cuban people, each with a fascinating story that reveals the challenges of surviving day to day in this country, how Cubans innovatively and creatively meet those challenges, and how they refuse to allow circumstances to colour their outlook on life. Within this book are vignettes of some of these people, presented as word-picture diptychs, each photograph accompanied by a compelling story, each story with an illustrative photograph. The reader will discover that while some Cubans live in dirty, dark, tenement-like conditions, others find the resources to improve and maintain their homes, and that those with the means keeps houses as clean as any on the planet. The reader will also learn how Cuban mechanics adapt and improvise to keep those wonderful old cars running, despite the difficulties of obtaining repair parts, and about the uniquely Cuban construct of resolver through which they survive and even prosper. But most importantly, it will be seen that Cubans have an indomitable spirit that allows them to remain happy and optimistic, despite the adversities of conquest and occupation, the interference of foreign governments, and the oppression of their own government for over five hundred years.

Henderson, Dan: - Dan Henderson combines his passions for travel, learning about other cultures, and creative expression to create portraits of the subjects that he encounters in a more meaningful way than simple physical portrayals. His photographs are exhibited at The Market Gallery in Roanoke, Virginia where he lives. He has had a solo exhibition and has participated in group exhibitions. His work is in the permanent collection of several organizations and has appeared in art-related publications. He previously published a book of photographs made in Iceland. If asked to describe himself with one sentence, he would say, "I am a Storyteller".
