Photographer's Note

Where can you find a bar called the proletarian outside Cuba nowadays: exactly nowhere.

Hello Gerrit,
Interesting and colourful daily life composition from sunny Cuba. Good management of the rather harsh light complemented by fine colours and sharpness. Curious to see it apparently closes at twenty to eight; why not half past seven or eight o'clock?

Hello Gerrit,I am enjoying your shots from Cuba; another scene of everyday life, very well taken.
I am fascinated by the time that the cafe/bar closes...7.40pm... is there a reason for this strange time?
Regards Jean.

Hello Gerrit,
an interesting daily life scene, a picture with great artistic quality, with bold colours, shadows and contrasts that make a statement. I like how the frame is filled by the three men and their different attitudes. The scene has a dramatic impact, the sign works very well as a frame too and the empty window plays a mysterious part in the story. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

Hello Gerrit,

Yes, this is indeed a rather strange - and not very attractive - name for a bar! And the place itself doesn't look too appealing either with no sign of anyone to serve food or drinks and with empty shelves within. I wonder if anyone ever actually did get served with food or drinks here?

A very well seen and captured daily life moment with good light and colours, a strong composition and excellent details and sharpness.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hi Gerrit!
Truly interesting daily life photograph!
Sharpness, exposure, colors, contrasts and composition are all excellent!
Again, a scene that could have been taken in many brazilian cities!
TFS - congrats,
Enjoy your new coming week!

Ah, how Time changes everything as the proletariat, the peasant, the teenager, all fall into the vortex of capitalism. In losing, we gain-yet in time the past acquires a nostalgic patina and feelings that people were more honest, neighbourly...Great shot which in 20 years time will be a record of a world that was.
