Summary: The photographs of Pablo Cabado
Review: Cuba may be the size of the proverbial postage stamp, but that certainly does not curtail the media fascination with all things Cuban. Most photographs of the island depict a country lost in a 1950s time warp with its art deco colors and automobiles held together by spit and wire. There is another side, of course, just as there is in most regions, but it is a picture rarely seen in the west. Photographer Pablo Cabado has seen the soul of Cuba, however, and his photos are that of an outsider (he lives in Argentina) who is not afraid to search for the truth. Without the colors to distract our attention, the black and white photos cannot help but draw us to the subjects, the ordinary people who are at the heart of Cuba.
