Color Photograph by Luisa M Hernandez: Solar 106

Rooftops and laundry lines blaze in electric purples, as if the city were lit from within.

This color photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Colour photographs of Cuba often turn to the painted facades and faded pastels of Havana's buildings, a subject many photographers have returned to again and again. Lofty color photograph seen from above, showing a crowded block with stairways, balconies and lines of hanging washing. Colors are heavily saturated, with violet and teal in the sky and rusty orange across the walls. It is 12 inches wide and 8 high.

Even the laundry looks ready for a night out.
