Five of my photos are being featured on the City of Bishop web site here:www.ca-bishop.us/. To see my credit, just have your mouse hover over the photos for a few seconds. The name I used on these photos is "Chris Forte," as opposed to Christopher. I also sold one on ViewBug: www.viewbug.com/member/cmforte . Slowly but surely, I am becoming a professional, building a client list, though still tiny at this point, to put on my photography resume!
History of Italians in California
From My New Website: The Italian Californian: History History of Italians in California The Butte Store (California Historical Landmark No. 39) No photo description available. An Italian stone mason constructed the building in 1857 to serve settlers and miners as both their post office and general store. The Gnocchio family operated the store for 50 years, closing its doors in the early 1900s. The roofless building is the last structure still standing where 100 miner’s cabins once stood during the height of the Gold Rush era Introduction: The History of Italians in California by Christopher Forte The story of Italians in California defies two stereotypical historical narratives. The first is about Italians: You probably know the common narrative as repeated by so many movies, especially Mob movies, and documentaries about the mass migration of Southern Italians and Sicilians to the US in the years 1880 to about 1920 or so, how most of them entered through the eastern ports
About My New Website: The Italian Californian
About My New Website: "The Italian Californian" Benvenuti! My name is Christopher Forte and I am The Italian Californian. My immediate family were very assimilated and far from their roots so when I had become interested in our Italian heritage at a young age when I was immersed in a culturally diverse setting in Southern California I went on a quest to learn more about it Once I discovered the richness, beauty and storied history that Italians have even right here in California, going as far back as when it was a Spanish colony, I dived into it headfirst, with a zeal to preserve that history and culture and share it with the world. And that is where this web site comes in. With my esteemed colleagues, my sister Michelle L. Forte and her daughter, my niece, Marissa Forte, our quest, the goal of this publication is to preserve, celebrate, promote, and share the Italian American heritage of California with the world. We do not see this site in competition with any other Italian and
The Most Horrible Yet Defining Day in My Life
I think about this sometimes and it engulfs me for a while until I snap out of it and come back to the present. I wrote this in 2008 with some editing today about the most horrible yet defining day in my life:
"...you'll find me in the fall leaves when they change from green to gold on a crisp winter morning, for I always loved the snow. I loved God and my Lord Jesus Christ all my life and tried to do my best. But now I'm getting tired and God tells me I can rest. Look to the Lord, find comfort in Him-I always did. I will always love you. Hold each other close and love each other, with words and deeds. With love always-Mommy. Teri Lynn Andre
