When I was little, I was always fascinated by a red metal box my grandmother had. It was full of strange, eye-catching, distinctive buttons. I loved their vibrant colors. How exotic and unusual they were. They made me want to collect them.
A couple of years ago, I discovered that it wasn't actually a box of buttons. It was actually a box of butter cookies. My cousin just brought one back from Canada a few days ago, and I wanted to capture the past and present, and even the future, together.
But what surprised me most was what I discovered while taking these photographs. My grandmother's button box was not just a simple box of butter cookies; it was more than that. It was a box of butter cookies made in none other than Cuba. The last thing I imagined was that Cuba had ever been a producer of these delicious butter cookies.
Every day you learn something new, and Grandma's button box is not Grandma's button box. It is the past, present, and future together in one photograph.

Pasado, presente y futuro.
De peque帽a siempre me llam贸 la atenci贸n una caja roja de metal que ten铆a mi abuela. Estaba llena de botones raro, llamativos y distintivos. Me encantaban los colores vibrantes que ten铆an. Lo ex贸ticos y extra帽os que eran. Daban ganas de coleccionarlos.
Hace par de a帽os descubr铆 que no era en realidad una caja de botones. En realidad era una caja de galletas de mantequilla. Mi prima acaba de traer una de Canad谩, hace apenas unos d铆as, y quise capturar el pasado y el presente, e incluso el futuro, juntos.
Pero lo que m谩s me sorprendi贸 es lo que descubr铆 tomando estas fotograf铆as. La caja de botones de mi abuela no era una simple caja de galletas de mantequilla, era m谩s que eso. Era una caja de galletas de mantequillas hecha nada m谩s, y nada menos que en Cuba. Lo que menos me imagin茅 es que Cuba haya sido alguna vez en la vida productor de estas deliciosas galletas de mantequilla.
Todos los d铆as se aprende algo nuevo y la caja de botones de la abuela, no es la caja de botones de la abuela. Es pasado, presente y futuro juntos en una fotograf铆a.
