my napoli take 2...

a personally amusing poster on the sidewalk when i first trekked through pomigliano...

a family's mailbox. familiar to them, but special and magical somehow to me...

the night before i arrived in italia, this sunset took my heart completely out of my chest. i don't think i've recovered speech even now. i found the fathest window to the west in the ship and stood-- face to the glass-- for an entire hour. the window happened to be in a restaurant on the ship, and people were around-- not far from my place of stance. however, i felt like i was wrapped in a timeless space of silence. i was not conscious of self, humans, or any thought other than those of sheer wonder.

my feet near a labyrinth-looking drain in napoli in the rain. my first day of napoli port exploration.

a billboard by an underpass of the autostrada (highway) that reminded me of where my feet are placed right now. :) i need to remind myself where i am everyday in some way or another.

cards strewn under the water-washed dumpsters of central napoli. i found it to be ironic and interesting somehow.
inside a napoli cathedral. this particular one was situated directly accross from another one. however, somehow, the inside of this place of prayer drew my heart more than the other.

the same place. my heart was affected. i can't describe how.

again... :)

my shadow. green. broken glass. all three symbols of my identity being formed...

i was walking with my housemate joe and my german friend sarah when i stopped silently. this sight grabbed. me. it's the tangible magic of storybooks embodied.

the side of a common napoli dumpster, and yet, it's a striking mix of color and form...

one of my two housemates. joe bradley. 27. chicago.

my shadow. next to a splatter of green on a common telephone post. :)

wings of flight and freedom by the napoli sea.

insanely style-y kids clothes. i took this picture for my renee marrone. :)
