ON DISPLAY AT THE ART DECO MUSEUM, STEVE WRIGHT'S PHOTOS SHOWCASE LITTLE HAVANA'S BEAUTY AND WONDER HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
"When people see this photo exhibit, some may say, 'Oh crap, I don't see the roosters on Calle Ocho,' or 'I don't see any of the famous buildings.' All of my photos are off the beaten path.
They're all
images that a typical visitor wouldn't see," Writer and photographer Steve
Wright explains.
"It's a
lot of East Little Havana, where there are these little, three-story,
Mediterranean apartment buildings.
They're
brightly painted, and they've got the little medallions, little eyebrows, and
very pronounced, decorative stairways to the upper floor.
Some images
are of art deco buildings that looked like they'd be at home in Miami Beach,
which I thought was a fun juxtaposition since everybody thinks of Ocean Drive
when they think of art deco."
