About the Book
Cities and towns in Cuba show us in their doors a sea of textures and combinations of materials and colors; the tones created by the effects of time and climate, and social neglect constitute, almost inexplicably, a fatal attraction for the trained eye and sensitivity of the photographer.
This is my third Blurb book on the subject, the first being “Doors of Havana and Matanzas”, published in 2014 and devoted mainly to these two cities. The present book follows the recently published "Doors of Cuba II", and continues exploring Havana, Santa Clara, Remedios, Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Camaguey, Holguín, Manzanillo, Santiago de Cuba and Baracoa.
