A >>while ago<< I introduced you to world traveler and post modern journeyman >>Fabian Sixtus Körner<<. Though I never met him in person, I follow his travels and stories and feel a strong empathy for what he is doing and how he is doing it.

Today I looked through his stories again and found a >>blogpost<< he wrote while in Cuba. Though I admire his photos and the portrait- and interview-project he did there, I understand his worries publishing the work, possibly bringing the people involved into terrible trouble.

Throughout my journeys, I have heard plenty of criticism against governments and regimes, talked to people desperate or drunk and listened to their sometimes passionate, sometimes desperate stories. The reason I never published them is that I feel uncomfortable putting something they shared personally with me into public. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do or if it is paranoid, and I'm wondering if it would be smart or not to do it.

What do you think? And Fabian - are you publishing it, or no? Did the people know what they were doing? And do you think they'll let you travel into Cuba again?
