Yobe Crespo's Life Through Lens an Intriguing Story of Yobe Crespo and His Love for Photography

From as early as eight years old, photographer Yobe Crespo was fascinated with photography, begging his mother to buy him a camera. Not an easy prospect since it was 1992 in Communist Cuba where it was difficult, if not impossible to get even the most basic things. She bought him a used, twin lens Rolleiflex film camera, but had to wait three months for the store to find film for the camera. Yobe immediately began taking photos of his classmates, making them pose according to his budding art director vision.
