Avoid Naples!

Nine prints from my series Avoid Naples! will be on display at the Clarridge Gallery in Bellevue, WA from January 28 through February 24. My sarcastic title for this exhibition was inspired by the following warning which I found on the internet.

   
Naples, Italy must be avoided at all costs by any tourist for any reason. Do not go. Do not even think of going. You will be robbed, mugged, beaten, and perhaps even killed. If you manage to make it out in one piece, you will suffer long term health ailments from exposure to the most polluted environment in Europe. Sodom and Gomorrah was Disneyland as compared to Naples. If you absolutely have to see Capri, Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius ... rent a video!  –  Hal Licino
    

Contrary to the above admonition, I found Naples to be an extremely interesting location to photograph. My web gallery contains a total of twenty photos which I took during my wonderful, week-long visit to Naples in April 2011, where I was not robbed, mugged, beaten or killed.

The Clarridge Gallery is located in the office/bookstore of the Eastshore Unitarian Church, 12700 SE 32nd Street, Bellevue, WA. Gallery hours are weekdays 9am to 5pm.  Call 425 641 3146 for weekend hours.
