Cuban Classic American Cars

Cuba - Another, more recent, Road Scholar (formerly Elder Hostel) trip we made was to Cuba not long before Trump made travel there quite difficult. The sixteen days we spent on the island were fascinating and depressing at the same time and although I took a few thousand traditional photographs, very little in the way of subject matter grabbed me. What did, not surprisingly, were the “antique” American cars that Cubans have amazingly kept running for sixty, seventy or even eighty years. I started out photographing them with my regular camera and then began using my iPhone. Time in the evenings gave me the opportunity to try and then play with a number of iPhone apps I had downloaded, often the wilder the better. Frequently I wound up with variations on variations and before our trip concluded in Havana (where the majority of the cars are located) I had more than a thousand images and variations from at least half a dozen different apps.
