Naples, Continued

In affectionate remembrance of my older brother, David, who died on October 29. Among the traits we shared were a liking for the quirky and a passion for travel. He loved Italy, having lived there with his family in the mid-Seventies. My first trips to this to this part of Europe were visits to his home. I wish I could share these pictures with him too. I know he would have liked them.

    Wow! Just wow!. You capture the “Italianess” of the city so perfectly. All those motorbikes and nonchalent youngsters. I think the image of tattoed arms flattening pizza crust will linger for a long time. I’m looking forward to looking through your pictures many more times. This is a beautiful tribute to David and your shared love of travel. Ann

    This ain’t no Rick Steeves travelogue, and I’m loving it. And it’s a nice homage to your brother.

    I agree with what Edward said earlier in the comments, your ever-brilliant photography is afire. I’m very moved by the range of your travels through Naples, and how much life you see and celebrate. Thanks for this, I will be clicking back through many times.



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.
