Jay Mitchell is the photographer and author of the new book `Cuba - A Photographic Journey'. In 2010 Jay took time out from working and living in an often chaotic London to take a journey across Cuba. This is a photographic journey through places in Cuba with the stunningly colourful buildings, the old American cars, Flamingos in Cayo Coco and landscapes that stretch out across the beautiful island of Cuba. People go about their daily life in Cuba with a smile as bright as the sunshine that falls across Cuba. The places visited in the book are, Havana, Cinaga de Zapata, Cienfuegos, Camagey, Playa Santa Luca, Bayamo, El Cobre, Santiago de Cuba, Baracoa, Guantnamo, Guardalavca, Holgun, Caya Coco, Morn, Trinidad, Santa Clara, Varadero, Pinar del Rio and Vinales. On reflection my trip across Cuba has been a long road trip with nearly 5000 kilometres covered in that time and over 20 key places in Cuba visited along the way and without doubt Cubans are very considerate and helpful, which makes you feel and at home here. Cuba - A Photographic Journey Endorsements: 'Jay Mitchell is that rare combination of born traveller and great photographer. His book on Cuba captures all the excitement and dedication of his journey while providing a multi-faceted portrait of the island, with all its exuberant and decayed architecture, seductive landscapes, passion for life, and love of the bizarre.' Michael Jacobs - Author 'A colourful journey with a photographic look at travelling through Cuba. Jay has unique personal narratives, anecdotes and stories which accompany his images of his journey through Cuba. He has captured people living in Cuba and what you are likely see when travelling through this beautiful country with his photos of Cuban life, vibrant colourful buildings, American cars and wildlife become one in his journey.' Ranulph Fiennes - Explorer Many of those I have met travelling say the same thing `I am here before it changes into one great big MacDonald's!' and I really hope this doesn't happen, but as a realist I know that commercialism will change Cuba but it's the people that make this country what it is, with the stunning landscapes, colourful buildings and old vehicles that take to the roads. - Jay Mitchell Write a review
