Fabian Carrillo is a news photographer for WSVN, the Sunbeam Fox affiliate in Miami.

He was on assignment in Cuba the past week or so along with 2 other photogs and 3 reporter/anchors sent by WSVN to cover President Obama’s historic visit to the island, the first sitting president to visit Cuba since 1928.

Unfortunately, cell phone coverage on the island is iffy and his busy shooting schedule made communication with Carrillo a problem.

So I asked if Carrillo if we could use his Facebook posts and some of his pictures and share them on Market Share. By the way, Carrillo’s wife, Kelly, is the assistant news director at WSVN.

As they say - it takes a village to put together a remote broadcast (especially when you're in Cuba) I'm a lucky guy to work with this fantastic group. Fabian Carrillo, Julio Jara, Alex DiPrato, Diana Reed, Robbin Simmons and Chris Eme

So here are some of his posts and examples of WSVN’s news coverage from the past week from Cuba.

Greetings from Havana, Cuba! We're here ahead of President Obama's visit next week. The wifi is a bit spotty so I won't be able to do as much social media posing as I'd Iike but you can catch our reports on WSVN
