Havana: La Vida

by Alberto Schommer

These images, moving and vibrant yet sweetly fragile, were taken during four short trips in which photographer, Alberto Schommer immersed himself in this seductive capital, taking over 3,000 pictures and then carefully choosing these 140 images. From the famed Floridita bar, birthplace of the daiquiri, to the sultry sands of its famed beaches; from the decaying majesty of its splendid architecture to the remarkable spirit of its people - all are captured by Schommer's discerning eye.
