Here’s what the Washington Post wrote about my blog:
That rarest of creatures, a blog that pops onto the Internet from Havana. Walter Lippmann, an American photographer and artist, offers up a heavy dose of pro-Fidel Castro stuff. Although he sometimes posts from Los Angeles, it’s in Cuba where Lippmann produces the real gems: photos of the country and its leaders. The site is a bit disorganized and updates are sporadic, but it includes a link to a Yahoo group where Lippmann posts Cuba news frequently.
For my comments on that, and more Cuban blogs:

Thanks again,

Havana, Cuba
