Tomate Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

It is very important to visit local markets to really understand how daily life of cubans is.
You just left your luxury 4 stars hotel, where each kind of food is available for you almost without limit and now you are in a world where food just means not more than 10 basic elements: rice, chicken, beans, pumpkins and tomatoes.
Everything is poor, but there's a serenity that I don't see in our malls...

Ciao Giorgio.
Difetta un po' di contrasto cromatico (forse bastava la presenza di qualche pomodoro un po' piu' rosso) e risente dell'assenza di una figura umana. Restano diversi pregi: la nitidezza e la buona profondità di campo del supergrandangolo che ne fanno comunque una foto godibile sulla quale si sofferma lo sguardo.
Ciao.
Bobo.

dear Giorgio,
a simple shop and fresh green tomatoes, this is very cozy for my eyes.
you captured well to actual common air in Cuba.
I like ordinary scenes and cheap hotels or B&B however that is nice sightseeing place.
did you eat this green tomato...(it seems not red and ripened)
anyway, nice shot of real life there,
thank you,
Akihisa

Ciao Giorgio,

I've never seen a tomate like that. Totally different than what we have here in Brazil :) Very nice interior shot. Light was well managed and you made good use of the elements. Well done!
Abbraccio,
Carlos
