Forte Fotos Life is not about how far you travel, it is about the discoveries along the way. Journey with me as I look to find and see what others often don't.

Seeing images through a camera lens has been with me most of my life. I love sharing that human connection made between my eye and the subject. My extensive travel photography and blogging allow me to tell unique stories. I invite you to journey with me where I promise to entice your imagination, amuse your senses, and expand your horizons near and far.

You don’t need a yacht to enjoy the beautiful sea off the Italian coastline. Poles out for the freshest fish will arrive in a few hours at the shoreline restaurants. A lone business, but I’d guess it brings great satisfaction.

City scenes. Outside and inside. For me, shooting in black and white adds another dimension, directing the eye to points of interest in both shadow and highlight. I shoot so much in color that the exchange is very satisfying. It forces my own eye and judgment to find things not always accented by color.

A few quick snaps taken from a trolley along the National Mall in Washington, DC and greeters in front of the National Archives. Blazing late afternoon light offered extreme and distorted shadow but some interesting imagery.

All shot on Leica M EV1, 35 mm Summilux-M

A few snaps from a recent outing with a great group of local photographers from Next Meet: 9/19 • Rhode Island Ave. Besides the simultaneous fun and serious chat of those behind their cameras, these volunteer models brought light and shadow along with great attitude and vibes to 2 hours of late-afternoon sun of Cady’s Alley, Georgetown.

All shot with 🔴 Leica M EV1

I’m DEFINITELY more comfortable behind my camera instead of in front of it. But as we are approaching the 25th anniversary of 9/11, that series of events weighs on me a lot, as it does every year. I have compiled some extremely candid photos I took as a volunteer at Ground Zero. I did not have a fancy camera. I literally had a Kodak point-and-shoot. And I kept that little camera tucked snugly away.

I want to give a perspective of being a volunteer and not a first responder. Although I met many of those during the three weeks I was either in the Salvation Army tent at the actual site or at Nino‘s restaurant on Canal Street serving up meals.

I really don’t go into detail in day-to-day conversations with people I know or meet. I wasn’t a professional Photographer running head on into those first hours of that day and capturing the most heinous of sights. But when it became a clean up and continued search, I had a searing drive to be there and help in any capacity. I went on natural gut instinct. Nobody invited me directly, nobody forced me. I’ll be honest. The whole experience truly showed me what a patriot I was and I am forever grateful to be an American.

Stay tuned as I will have more to talk about as I relive the memories through my photos. Where were you on 9/11?

Whenever I come across this photo my face lights up with a matching smile. Horrible I don’t recall her name but her spirit remains in me forever. Isn’t it wonderful to meet up with a memory. Door is always open because of her.
