About Mark Forte
Many years ago, I received a Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard College and a Masters of Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley. While subsequently working in architecture, I used photography to study buildings, details, and open places that make up our architectural environment.
Gradually, I found myself drawn to the evocative and romantic qualities of my subjects. I realized that I could read the old, textured stonework of a Castilian castle or the faded dignity of a crumbling ancient wall like some well-worn palimpsest daring me to uncover its secret story. It has taken me over thirty years to understand that this, and not the architecture itself, was my real subject.
Nothing delights me more than to discover and capture the stories that lie hidden in the deep crevices of a brick wall or a care-worn face. Through my photographs, I try to pull the viewer into that story. Exactly how you understand that story isn't so important. I simply ask that you enter the space they describe and discover something for yourself.
Perhaps I am creating architecture, after all.
