About the Book
John chose to make images of the varied surfaces encountered on a trip with a photography group from the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center.
Many images in this book are composites that blend photographs of these surfaces with those of the people, architecture and places that he was so fortunate to enjoy.
The three meanings of this book's title: Images taken over a week, of the surface(s) of Cuba. Also, the surfaces of Cuba as a place itself, not just being the visage of walls and streets, but as if creating from their colors and textures a city of their own: Surface, Cuba. Lastly, using "surface" as a verb, a first look at the Cuba of today as it rises up through decades of diplomatic darkness, breaks through the layers of ancient embargoes, and lets history shout: Surface, Cuba!
