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 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.
