Photo: Living Car Show

Living Car Show, Havana, Cuba, 1998

Photograph by David Alan Harvey

"The streets of Cuba are at times a living classic car show, lined with pre-Castro relics of the 1940s and 50s. Some have their original engines, others make do with Russian-made replacements. Virtually all are lovingly maintained, perhaps with an eye on the day when open commerce will make them valuable on the open market."

(Photographed on assignment for, but not published in, "Cuba," June 1999 National Geographic magazine)

—Text from the National Geographic book Cuba, 1999

Photo Tip of the Week

Alternating Angles

Like distance from your subject, the angle you shoot from has also probably become a habit. Get low, get high. Get overhead. Stand on a chair or a bed. You'll be amazed how just changing your angle can dramatically alter your photos.
