Trip to Santiago de Cuba and Havana, Cuba with Palm Beach Photo Workshop lead by Vinnie Versace
Several months ago I signed up to take a photo workshop in Cuba led by the one and only Vincent Versace. After trading in my Leicas and deciding to leave my beloved Nikons at home, I took two brand new Fuji X-Pro 2 cameras with me to Cuba. Why Fuji’s? Small size, lightweight, not imposing, a film camera look to them and terrific optics. In addition to the two bodies, the lenses that I packed were all zooms to maximize focal lengths, yet keep the total number of lenses to a minimum. I brought the following: 50-140, 16-55, 10-24 and the new 1.4 teleconverter.

I am a health professional by day and an obsessive photographer 24/7. While I was always interested in photography, it was the introduction of digital that really catapulted my passion to become an obsession. It is if I have a need to photograph and I now always carry a camera. As a self described “techno geek”, digital allowed both my right and left brain to work together and allowed me to express myself photographically. I was no longer bound by the limitations of a commercial . In addition I am a beta tester for several photographic software companies.
