A stunning collection of over 220 photographs and stories highlighting Michael's 24 trips to Cuba.

VANISHING CUBA is a visual storytelling project by American photographer Michael Chinnici. The collection depicts the changes Cuba is facing as it emerges from more than 60 years of isolation and decay. Michael's 24 trips to Cuba have yielded tens of thousands of photographs, thought provoking and emotional stories, and created lifelong friendships. Vanishing Cuba is about capturing the past, present and future of Cuba, and even more so, about capturing the “Soul of Cuba". Michael's love affair with Cuba and the Cuban people clearly comes through in this compelling and beautifully produced book.These books are being printed in small quantities and will only be available for a limited time.

The book's color images are printed using a 7-color Spectra System to provide the most vibrant colors, and the book's black & white images are printed using a 3-black TriTone System, delivering superior b&w images with breathtaking results.
