Around about beginning

First I read Hemingway and Genet. I listened to the jazz of Dave Brubeck, Bird Parker,
Monk or Sonny Rollins and Miles Davis. And Tito Puente.

Then I thought to be photographer. My references were Walker Evans and William Klein.
I got a F401 and a FG20.
I read Nicolás Guillén and Carpentier. I listened to Celia Cruz and Los Van Van.
That's when I left to Cuba to take photos with Olivier, and I knew Bayoya.

I read Cendrars, Galeano and Cortázar. I listened to Vinicius with Toquinho.
I discovered Silvio and Rubén Blades. The Skatelites. And Pasolini.
And Le Corbusier and Niemeyer.
I got rid of the F401 and got a FA and a FM2. Héctor made me discover the mac.

And I went back to Cuba, after being in Mexico and Central America.
With Bayoya as guide, I penetrated the rumba in the solar, and in the streets.
From there I discovered Jamaica and then left to the United States.
With Debray in my mind, I went back on my steps. And that's when everything's begun.
