Life in the streets of Cardenas Matanzas Cuba | Limited Edition of 10
Colonial City Life: An Afternoon in Cardenas Matanzas, Cuba - Photo Art Print
Picture this: it's a bustling afternoon in Cardenas Matanzas, Cuba, a harbor town steeped in history and founded on March 8th, 1828. The streets are a vibrant tableau of life, humming with the movement of people, cars, bicycles, and horse-drawn carriages. The spirit of this colonial city comes alive through my lens, capturing the essence of Cuba before the Castro regime, a memento of the past etched in the present.
The city's architectural fabric is a palette of varied styles, with beautiful Colonial buildings, their 19th-century arches boldly defining the cityscape. The city's history is etched in its buildings, including early 19th-century military fortresses that once served as the city's defense ring. Each building has a story to tell, and through my lens, I strive to narrate that story.
With the majority of Cardenas' 75,000 inhabitants working in tourism in Varadero, you'll find a warm, friendly atmosphere that is quintessentially Cuban. The city streets, structured and neat, house this welcoming community, an aspect of the city I've endeavored to capture in this photograph.
This photograph encapsulates the beating heart of Cardenas Matanzas, capturing a moment in the life of the city. My print immortalizes this scene on the highest museum quality paper, acid-free 100% Archival Photo Paper. I use archival inks to ensure each photograph portrays sharp precision, smooth transitions, deep blacks, intricate details, and vibrant hues.
Each print is hand-signed by me on the reverse side as an assurance of its authenticity. Each print includes a certificate of authenticity and a lifetime warranty against fading. Please note that frames are not included with the print.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
