Tomorrow I’m leaving for Cuba. The connection flight to Frankfurt is leaving early, at 7:40am. At 11am I’m finally off in the plane to Havanna.

So what’s the plan? Basically hang around in Havanna, that’s it. So there will be plenty of time to get into Cuban life and explore the city – of course with the camera. I have some projects I’d like to work on, but since I was too busy with prepartion there’s I don’t have a clear plan at the moment. Since I’ll should have access to internet at least sometimes I’ll try to update this blog regulary.

Actually I wanted to pose with all the gear I’m taking with me, but I’m short on time. So, the short version: Canon 5D, Canon AE-1, Canonet 28 and a sweet Konica Hexar (big thanks to my brother Rafael) along with 140 rolls of film. Ah, and the Lomo Supersampler. I hope getting used to all this stuff won’t keep my from taking the photos that I want. Let’s see – you can judge yourself soon.

And as you may have noticed I decide to write in English. So bare with my poor vocabulary and grammar.

That’s it for the moment. Next post comes straight from Havanna. Take care, visit this blog and comment if you feel like it – I’d be happy to hear from everyone of you.

    Hey dude, are you still alive? Are you under arrest by the new Cuban Government? Or shot dead by Castro’s men while trying to get close to him to get a snap? If there is still no sound from you by this time next week, I will lodge a missing person’s police report.

    Aa… what an anti-climax. I think you should not leave so soon, dude. There must be a way to get all, if not most, of what you want.
