With the recent re-engagement between the United States and Cuba, there has been an increased interest in the future of the island of Cuba.

On my trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico I took lots of photos of the places and pieces that brought my trip to life. Santa Fe is full of inspiration, peace and color. Enjoy!
