You can see beaches in any travelogue but you may not see the Cuban dancers on tour and you really, really need to see this act. They may well be the best dancers I have ever seen. It was so wild as they would dance such an incredible set and, after the show, you would see the same dancers in the clubs around Oranjestaad still dancing like mad.
For me, these photographs are the most difficult because most of them will turn out to be rubbish ... but some of them won't. The motion is so much a part of it so the trick is to try to capture that in a still photograph. If I shoot with a fast exposure then it will freeze them and the shot will be crystal but there won't even be a hint of motion in it.
Sometimes freezing their motion is exactly what we want.
In some ways, I lost everything, but, in others, I didn't lose anything.
If you never saw an iguana who likes French Fries then take a look at Edward Iguana Robinson.
Note: Edward G Robinson was of Hollywood's legendary tough guys but check out how he really was.
During the 1930s and 1940s, he was an outspoken public critic of fascism and Nazism which was then growing in Europe. His activism included contributing over $250,000 to more than 850 organizations involved in war relief, along with cultural, educational and religious groups. During the 1950s, he was called to testify at the House Un-American Activities Committee during the Red Scare, but was cleared of any Communist involvement. (WIKI: Edward G. Robinson)
Oh, you want beaches?
Sometimes the best of Aruba is when you can't even see the beaches. The water was somewhat murky that day which was unusual but snorkeling is always good, wherever you can do it.
