Aldo Castillo Gallery

A wonderful contemporary art gallery opened on Naples' 5th Avenue South two months ago.


.

The Aldo Castillo Gallery started in Chicago and relocated to Southwest Florida eight years ago.  It was in the Miromar Design Center in Estero (between Fort Myers and Naples) before the new gallery was opened on Naples' leading shopping street.  I photographed through the front window.  Still slow to enter places . . .

The central figure above is the creation of Metis Atash.   It is made from thousands and thousands of Swarovski Crystals.

Buddies


 A roseate spoonbill and a wood stork were dining together.

The Naples Players


 The Sugden Theatre on Fifth Avenue South in Naples is suffering like other live performance venues.

It is offering some socially distanced events for youth, but that's all.

Barb

A woman with pink, white and blue dyed hair, a brightly colored top and a sparkly mask walked past.

  

So, of course I stopped her.  At first she was hesitant but then Barb gamely posed for me.

Sue


 Sue was killing time on a bench outside a gift shop on Fifth Avenue South while her friends shopped inside.  She has a camera similar to mine, so we talked about finding subjects to photograph during the pandemic.  We are both shooting birds more than usual.  So much fun to do a portrait again.

Look Up

 

I don't know.  I just thought the gnarled limbs were interesting.

Kind of like fingers with arthritis.
