Havana Nights
Photographs by Russell Monk
To wander through the dimly lit streets of Old Havana after dark is to enter a world of shadows and silhouettes. Many, in their homes, are illuminated by the pulsing glow of their televisions, intensely watching the latest telenovela. Others are forced by the cramped environment and heat out onto the streets and sidewalks. Laughing, eating, shouting, arguing, dancing, crying, they live like open books for all to see. Lovers kiss on stoops and embrace under street lamps. Neighbors play dominoes and chess on corners. Rambunctious kids kick soccer balls and swing makeshift baseball bats.
