FOGG Notes: I was interviewing her when Gerardo was trying to sell me a painting.  She was the only person in Cuba that approached us versus us approaching them.  We had circled the streets of Trinidad about three times looking for someone interesting and willing to do an interview with.  As we walked by her on the street she saw my camera and stopped us.  I didn’t know what she was saying at first but she had a big smile on her face and just seemed genuine.  She was a real bubbly person and when I asked if I could photograph her she was very excited about it and even more when we asked her the interview questions. She seemed like the kind of person who had a wild younger life but now that she is older she still longs for those days.  The sheer aspect of telling us without a flinch that she loved Mexican men pretty much summed it up… she was and still is a wild women.  Grandma’s Gone Wild comes to mind!
