Sepia Photograph by Eduardo & Orlando Garcia: Untitled, From Angels of Havana Series, 2005

Children lounge on worn steps while a blurry, pale shape races past them.

This sepia photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Havana is a city whose streets, buildings and people have drawn photographers for generations, and Cuban photography has a strong documentary tradition. Horizontal sepia scene with a barred gate and arches behind, a boy and girl seated at left and right. A translucent running figure crosses the middle, and the edges are splashed and ragged. It is 12 inches wide and 8 high.

A very still afternoon with one passing blur.
