OMAR NEGRIN THE REPORTER
Cotton Candy Sky: A puffy cloud hovers over Camag\u00fcey, Cuba during a sunny day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last month I went to Camag<\/span>\u00fc<\/span>ey, Cuba with my family for a weekend to celebrate my father\u2019s birthday in the city he was born and raised. After landing at Ignacio Agramonte International Airport, we drove in a private car, owned by a local resident who makes money on the side by renting it to tourists. We stayed in the Gran Hotel in the middle of the city. We struggled to exchange our U.S. dollars to Cuban pesos. We finally found an ATM after driving for hours down a thin, dark road.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a day of pool celebrations in the hot weather, we finally sang Happy Birthday to my father on Sept. 25 \u00a0at 2 a.m. in a park plaza. <\/span><\/p>\n

Traveling to Cuba with my film camera was a hassle. Airport security wiped down the film with a small piece of paper to check for radiation signals in both airports; the film can\u2019t go through the X-ray because it gets ruined. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet, it was worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Visiting family in Cuba is always an exciting experience, but this time I was also able to capture the charm of the island through the lens of my Canon 5DS R. Here are some of the photos I took.<\/span><\/p>\n
