a pesar de todo…
We began in the Cuban countryside, where generations of families still work the land much as their grandparents and great-grandparents did. As we traveled through Hershey and into Havana, we found those same rhythms continuing.
History here is not preserved behind glass. It is lived.

About
John Mitchell
I photograph people in the places they inhabit—often as a small human presence within a larger, layered space. My work is grounded in observation: gesture, atmosphere, available light, and the fleeting order of everyday life.
I’m based in Indianapolis.
