The day after Fidel Castro’s memorial in Havana, two Cuban-born New Yorkers sat together, looking for him in a vast archive of photographs. We had been deluged by images of Fidel in the news media that showed him as icon, warrior, hero or tyrant. It is 1959 and Fidel Castro sits inside the Route 28 Bus drinking a Coca Cola. “For me it’s those real moments when the photographer caught something, a moment when he [Fidel] is not in control of the image,” Ramiro said. On the day of Fidel Castro’s burial in Santiago de Cuba, we think again about moments of departure, and wonder about the next curve in the road.
