In the icy embrace of winter, the panorama at The Wawona Tunnel metamorphoses into an unparalleled spectacle of contrasts and transformations. Each day, as the sun's rays timidly caress the frozen ground, a delicate ballet of change and thawing unfolds. As the sun rises on the horizon, its warm kisses land upon the road that cuts through the tunnel. The ice that covered the roadway during the night melts away, revealing the dark asphalt that lay hidden beneath the white cloak. Tiny droplets of water trickle from the ice, forming small streams that wind with grace and lightness.

Milton Sosa is a photographer, video maker and graphic designer from Havana, Cuba. It’s the people and their unique experiences that are the island’s greatest asset and his work is a direct reflection of that. He loves to share how he sees the world through the pictures he takes, inspired by pretty much any and all facets of this beautiful life, grand and bold, through unpretentious and dainty. He is relatively freshly based in California in the Bay Area. Currently he is devoted to doing photography and music videos.
