Concentration and Camaraderie: A Game of Dominoes in Trinidad, Cuba

This black and white photograph captures a scene of intense concentration and camaraderie as four men play dominoes on a sidewalk in Trinidad Havana. The men sit on plastic chairs arranged around a makeshift table with domino tiles scattered across the surface. In the background, a bicyclist passes by, the surrounding buildings are old and weathered. Despite the decay, life bustles on around the game, with people going about their daily business. I felt that there is an unmistakable energy in the scene, a sense of connection and community that is palpable even in a still photograph. It is clear that playing dominoes is more than just a hobby or pastime in Cuba – it is a passion and a way of life – Trinidad, Cuba.
