The United States Postal Service has chosen a portrait by Alexis Rodriguez-Duarte (in collaboration with Tico Torres) of artist, Emilio Sanchez from their Cuba Out of Cuba series to be included on the stamp panel to celebrate the centennial and work of Emilio Sanchez (1921-1999). The Cuban-American photography team's portrait was taken in 1993 and shows Sanchez sketching at his drawing table in his New York City loft studio. The four new “Forever” stamps will be launched on 10 June 2021 and feature Sanchez’s colorful architectural lithographs and paintings: Los Toldos (1973), Ty's Place (1976), En el Souk (1972), and Untitled (Ventanita entreabierta) (1981). Sanchez explored the effects of light and shadow to emphasize the abstract geometry of his subjects and his artwork encompasses his Cuban heritage as well as his long life in New York City. Antonio Alcalá served as art director and designer for this pane of 20 stamps.

Today marks the 17th anniversary of the world’s loss of CELIA CRUZ, the legendary Queen of Cuban music. My husband, Tico and I were given the honor and privilege to photograph Celia for 12 years. As a photographer, it is very rare, if not unique to have an individual give her soul to the camera as she did. Celia was and will forever be the voice of CUBA and we are all so fortunate to have been given the wonderful gift of that voice. Her energy and her ¡AZÚCAR! will live in our hearts for eternity. Celia, you are the light. You are so very missed.
Congratulations to Cristina Costantini and Kareem Tabsch for their documentary, Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado on Netflix. I was commissioned by Vogue Italia to photograph Walter Mercado in 1998. This is one of the portraits from that session and it is now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. It was a joy and honor to photograph Walter. He was gracious, kind and very generous with his time to allow me to capture him. For this portrait, I asked him to channel Greta Garbo when she says, “I want to be alone”. He did, and this is the outcome of that magical moment.
