There are photographs you spend months planning — the location scouted, the light calculated, the composition rehearsed. And then there are the ones that simply happen, if you’re paying attention. This image, made along the Malecón in Havana during the summer of 2017, belongs entirely to the second category. It is, without question, one of the most significant frames I’ve ever made. And I almost walked right past it.
