I am honored that TRAVEL+LEISURE Magazine published a four-spread feature on my Vanishing Cuba book. Each month they highlight a new photographer in their “Through the Lens” series.
T+L writes, “Few places on earth compare with Cuba—an isolated, communist island nation frozen in time. The country has a seemingly endless collection of vintage American automobiles, some of the best-preserved Spanish colonial architecture, and the world’s most renowned cigars and rum. A new coffee table book by MICHAEL CHINNICI captures its evolving face and constant soul.”

The light, the colours, the people, and the life on the streets: each moment seems to offer a perfect opportunity for a picture. One photographer who has explored Cuba repeatedly, through the perspective of his camera, is the American Michael Chinnici. His gorgeous photo book draws on the wealth of stories, experiences and encounters he has gathered during more than twenty trips in recent years. There is no doubt that the New York-based photographer has been successful in his efforts to capture the “soul of Cuba” in pictures.

Wow!!! Thank you, Melanie Chapman, for writing such a wonderful review of my Vanishing Cuba book! And to quote the poet John Dunne… “The poet John Dunne wrote “No man is an island…”.
