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.

Photographs of people and place
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.

| How Many Roads? is a book of photographs by Jonathan Sa'adah, available for order, offering an unglossy but deeply human view of the period from 1968 to 1975 in richly detailed, observant images that have poignant resonance with the present. Ninety-one sepia photographs reproduced with an introduction by Teju Cole, essays by Beth Adams, Hoyt Alverson, and Steven Tozer, and a preface by the photographer. | |

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 city has really ignited your photographic brilliance. You you sure bring it to life.
I could hear the street sounds and smell the exhaust. These photos are a great way to remember David.
Wonderful pic Johathan! Thx for sharing.
Wow… Fantastic visual storytelling, as always. The light in these pictures is fascinating.
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.
