In Cuba you are always travelling back in time. Photography is no exception! This photographer makes a living by taking photos of tourists with his "X" brand camera from another age! The camera could go back to the beginning of polaroid.

Old men sitting at a corner in Trinidad de Cuba. Elders of today were the
revolution’s youths. Che's portraits can be found in every corner of Cuba as the
relentless symbol of a revolution, once youthful with high aspirations. After fifty years,
