I got to see the whole Cuban crises and watched Castro's men shoot political figures who often gave the command, "Fire" to the squad who killed them. I remember Che Guevara and Fidel in the early days.
My family is from Cuba, mis abuelas would often tell me stories about Che, pretty interesting, I don't like the guy, but he sure does look cool on t-shirts and wall posters.
I was very interested in the famous photo... sometimes called the most famous photo in the world.
When I found an image of the un-cropped original. I decided to go with it.
I didn't know the particulars surrounding the photograph. All I knew was that it came from some sort of mass grave or mass burial and that Korda had snapped it just as Che was looking up and away from the scene.
