I imagine the year to be 1957, when Havana was the world's fourth-most-expensive city. Many vintage buildings remain in Havana today, and many of my friends still play and live in such buildings. Today, as the Castro era wanes, Cuba's youth have their doubts, dreams and their stories... It is time to make new memories and new histories, while revisiting and reevaluating old ones... 1957 is a collection of portraits and stories of my friends in Cuba...Havana Dance Story; Havana Rebel Story; Havana Santeria Story; Havana Love Story; Havana Queen Story; Fidel's Ballerina; I believe I can Fly
