Nelson Ramírez de Arellano

Nelson Ramírez de Arellano talked about the history of Cuban photography.  He showed various Cuban artists and how they influenced his work. The show was a collection of photographs from various Cuban artists.   He talked about how this camera collector guy let him use a really old camera that theres only two left!

His work also has themes of immigration/emigration.
