While most fishermen say standing on the rocks below Havana’s sea wall at low tide is a more effective method for catching something to eat, this lone fisherman seemed content simply to try his luck from the wall itself. His use of a commercially made rod rather than a handmade version made him stand out to me at a time when access to goods like this was almost impossible and bringing them in “from the outside” was highly taxed by Cuban Customs–if it was permitted at all. Havana, 2003.
