Black & White Photograph by Eduardo Garcia: Untitled

Runner dashes along a seawall as a huge wave explodes behind him.

This black and white photograph is by Eduardo Garcia, from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Cuban photography has a long documentary tradition, and photographers there have often turned to street life, work and everyday scenes in Havana and beyond. This black and white print shows a towering burst of white spray against heavy storm clouds. A lighthouse and fortress walls stand at right. A tiny dark figure sprints through the foreground on wet pavement. A wide white border frames the image. It is 12 inches wide and 8 high.

Timing so good the sea seems to have rehearsed.
