Golden Hour on the Havana Seawall
This is Havana as I remember it—not the polished version you find in travel brochures, but the real, breathing soul of the city. The place where people gather at the seawall, day after day, to talk, flirt, laugh, and just exist. I captured this moment near the famous Malecón as the sun started to dip, washing the historic buildings in gold and stretching shadows along the crumbling seawall.
It’s not a dramatic image in the traditional sense—no sweeping vistas or stormy skies. But to me, this is where the magic lives. In an easy way, people settle in next to each other. In the playful chatter of kids below and the quiet nods of adults above. In the vintage cars that still roll by behind them. Havana, frozen not in time, but in motion.
There’s a rhythm to Cuban life that I’ve always admired. It’s unhurried but never still. It’s honest and unfiltered. I didn’t stage this. I didn’t need to. The city gave me this moment freely. That’s what street photography should be—documenting not just the shape of a place but its soul.
The image feels warm, not just because of the light, but because of what’s happening in it. Look closely and you’ll see different generations here—elders, young adults, little kids—everyone finding their own place on the edge of land and sea. It’s a community in action. And it’s beautiful in its ordinariness.
I printed this photograph to preserve that spirit—to share the story of Havana through the gestures and glances of its people. If you’re drawn to places that feel lived-in, and if you see the poetry in everyday human connection, you’ll probably enjoy exploring my full Cuba Photography Collection.

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.
