He reminds me of the movie characters Paul Kersey and Dirty Harry in that picture.

[nezvanova]

hmm i dunno where, but it had to have been after the cuban revolution, could've been around bay of pigs or cuban missile crisis time, but i dunno wher...probably in cuba.

[KickMcCann]

it was taken somewhere in France I believe

[elbolao23]

No, this picture was taken during a shooting practice in Santa Clara after the battle was over

This picture was taken inLa Havana the March, 6th 1960 by Alberto Diaz Guttériez alias Alberto Korda.

A few days before, a french ship, the Coubre, which was carrying weapons had been destroyed by a bomb of CIA.

The sixth of March, Fidel Castro was pronouncing a speech and thousands of people were listening him.
Che was late and when he arrived, he took a look around in order to estimate the number of cubans who were there. It is exactly at this time that the picture was taken.

[Wiesty]

he used a gun to estimate how many people there were?

[reunite ratm]

many people believe it was taken during a contemplative moment of silence as che stood at the podium about to address the cuban people. but fidel was actually the one speaking at the time and che was standing behind him with other cuban leaders, seemingly caught in a distant thought.

You are thinking of a different picture. The picture being asked about is Che pointing a gun.

[Wiesty]

thanks for all the replies
but why would he be holding a gun in a place with a crowd hes gonna adress or crowd etc. ?

[Hate Is Art]

I think they think your talking about the Korda picture. Didn't look at the link obviously.

[La comunista de America]

I think that picture was taken in Santa Clara.

Viva CHE y viva COMUNISTA

[Kurai Tsuki]

I remember seeing a picture like this oneused to illustrate the guerilla training in Mexico.

It looks like he is just checking out the gun, checking its sight out the front of a house.
