Black & White Photograph by Manuel Larrañaga Sardiñas: B Del Medio

A big pale car idles on a busy lane beneath a hand-lettered sign.

This black and white photograph from Cuba is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Cuban photography has a strong documentary tradition, and photographers working in Havana have often turned to black and white film to record everyday streets, interiors and people. A black-and-white street photograph mounted on a pale board, showing a white sedan in the foreground and bystanders in doorways. A sign reading La Bodeguita del Medio hangs above, and a pencil title and signature sit below the image. It is 10.25 inches wide and 8 high.

A street scene with the engine politely off.
