EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Desmond Boylan for Reuters, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Havana, Cuba. The image showcases a taxi patiently waiting for customers against the backdrop of the iconic Capitol building. The scene exudes an air of nostalgia and intrigue as we witness a snapshot of daily life in this enchanting city. The vintage yellow taxi stands out amidst the bustling surroundings, its classic design reminiscent of a bygone era. Its polished exterior reflects both pride and resilience, symbolizing the enduring spirit of Cuban society. As sunlight bathes the scene, it casts long shadows on the pavement, adding depth and contrast to Boylan's composition. The architectural grandeur of Cubas Capitol serves as an impressive backdrop; its neoclassical style evokes a sense of history and importance. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into Cuban society - where taxis serve as lifelines connecting people from all walks of life while preserving their cultural heritage. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling through these lively streets, hearing snippets of conversations in Spanish mingling with rhythmic music drifting from nearby cafes. Boylan's skillful lens allows us to appreciate both the beauty found within everyday scenes and the rich tapestry that makes up Cuban society—a testament to his ability to capture compelling images that transcend time and place.
