Description Throughout Cuba you come across many amputees. Those I talked to had all been injured fighting in Angola's civil war.
This gentleman seems a little old for that and was possibly injured in Cuba's own revolution but he wasn't in the mood to talk with me so I can only guess.

A really evocative shot, and beautifully taken. The lighting is so dramatic and the B&W conversion is spot-on.
