Join photographer Ron Herman on a 15-day U.S. government-approved educational program to Cuba. This trip will focus on the eastern side of Cuba, known as El Oriente, which is considered by many to be the most interesting region because of its natural beauty, Afro-Cuban roots, musical heritage, and revolutionary history. With gorgeous coastlines, imposing mountains, and colorful towns that mass tourism has yet to discover, this region retains an unfiltered essence of authentic Cuba. The special itinerary designed for this program offers participants endless cultural and photographic opportunities to discover the beauty of the less traveled side of Cuba and experience the warmth of its people.
Ron Herman is an award winning educator and Chair of the Photography Department at Foothill College, where he has been teaching since 1997. He has photographed for Polo Ralph Lauren and Spiegel, and his work is included in such collections as the Fototeca de Cuba, Kinsey Institute, Snite Museum, and the South Bend Regional Museum of Art. Herman received his MFA from the University of Notre Dame, and has lectured on his work and digital imaging technologies at Cornell, Stanford, and Yale Universities.
Herman has been organizing travel tours for photo enthusiasts since 2001. Previous destinations have included Cuba, the Czech Republic, India, Ireland, Italy, Myanmar, Peru, and Spain. Cultural exchange is very important to his personal travel philosophy. When he is developing a travel tour, he tries to incorporate a variety of activities where both cultures can learn from each other, which in the end, results in a socially responsible and personally rewarding travel experience.
