The Blue Man

I spotted what I at first thought was a blue statue sitting on a bench in downtown Cienfuegos, Cuba. I wass part of a photography trip to Cuba, and that afternoon's assignment was to find interesting things to photograph.

As I headed back up the street past this statue again, I noticed a flicker in the eyes that told me this was no statue, but a real man sitting perfectly still. I signaled that I would like to photograph him, he gave a very slight nod, and I deposited one Cuban peso in a boot sitting next to him, along with a fishing pole.
