p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Waiting for Medicine


I returned from Cuba a week ago, only to be knocked down by an awful case of Montezuma's revenge. I'm just thankful I was able to weather that little storm on this side of the pond. After getting some health back, it was catch-up time at work, so I'm just getting to my images.

These shots were taken one morning in the little village of Casa Blanca across the bay from Havana. There is a pharmacy about 100 yards away where this man was headed. Every morning, they line up and wait for the delivery of medicine to arrive, hoping what they need will be available. From what I could gather, that's pretty hit and miss, and the first to show get what there is.

The trip was at the same time one of the most rewarding and difficult I've taken. The people of Cuba are wonderful, but the level of poverty and living conditions makes your heart hurt.

Moving photo....really beautiful composition and tells a story. I don't know why nobody else commented, but the first one especially really grabbed me.

Really sad to see. As a medical professional your photo is worth a thousand words.
I am glad you are feeling better.

Love the first shot...the smallness of the man set against the sizeable stairs accentuates his feeble condition. Very well done.

The first picture is so emotionally touching. It's so pity to see those poor people who can only hope they'll receive what they really need when others can order anything they want from online pharmacies sitting at their homes in comfort.

Great capture Doug! Yeah be careful of what liquids, especially water, you drink abroad or spicy food you eat.
