Welcome to my world since the beginning of the summer. Here I am working on my laptop surrounded by over 320 images on eight giant boards, which feature full-size images being considered for the Vanishing Cuba book. Carefully curated and paired up to replicate each spread in the book. Sometimes moving them around to end up with the best possible combinations. If you want to know what the book will look like, you need to see it, feel it, and live it.
This, of course, follows years and months of editing, production decisions, and design choices. It’s been an incredible journey. I was prepared for much of it, but I can now say that I never realized the sheer magnitude of this project. It took on a life of its own.
The book goes to press in exactly six weeks. I can’t wait for you all to see it!

VANISHING CUBA CHRONICLES – PRINTING IN ITALY
On September 28, 2021, I departed New York for Milan, Italy, to oversee the printing and production of my long-awaited Vanishing Cuba book. I was headed to my printer, Longo AG, in Bolzano, Italy. My man at Longo, Giuseppe, picked me up at the airport, and we began our four-hour journey across Northern Italy. Giuseppe had been working with me for two years on this project, and he knew exactly what I was looking to achieve. After multiple espressos stops along the Autostrade, we arrived at Longo in the late afternoon. The espresso stops were a good indication of what was to come. Non-stop espresso, all day, every day, for the next two weeks!
