Havana Spice Restaurant – Homestead, Florida

ByZach Dobson April 27, 2021April 27, 2021

Being a documentary photographer means photo stories present themselves at random times, including while waiting for takeout at an eclectic restaurant called Havana Spice in the city of Homestead, Florida.

I need to be ready to shoot them at the drop of a hat. This is exactly why I carry my compact Fujifilm mirrorless camera in my car at nearly all times.

So here are some photos I took in the span of about 20 minutes while waiting for some delicious Cuban cuisine.
