How Wrong I Was
When we arrived in Naples my first impressions were of physical deterioration, vandalism, and filth. When thrown suddenly into the chaos and traffic just outside the airport the contrast with Montreal felt like too much! A visceral body blow.
Looking back now I can see how wrong I was.

Catania Market
The Catania food markets continue a tradition dating back at least as far as Roman times, but also picking up on all the cultures that have traveled through Sicily since.
My Favorite Pizzerias: Ai Marmi, Rome
Ai Marmi is my dream pizzeria. Unself-conscious, delicious food, with an easy, social atmosphere. It should know what it’s doing, it’s been in business in the same place for over 90 years, serving thin crust Roman-style pizzas. It’s easily one of my favorite restaurants on earth.
Eastern Sicily
The eastern side of Sicily seems pretty laid back compared to Naples. People are friendly but not as outgoing; the culture seems a bit more drawn in. Driving is easy, not the blood sport it is in Naples (or Palermo).
Return to Damascus is my new book of photographs, available for order, that preserves fleeting impressions and the spirit of a place through the lens. Accompanied by brief reflections and memories, the photographs offer a tribute to the place and its people, focusing on enduring character and the subtle interplay of light, architecture, and tradition. Return to Damascus is a quiet celebration of observation and memory, inviting viewers to participate.
