"Art can perpetuate the cycle of life. It should be an enjoyment creating images that hopefully will stand the test of time." Tony Berardi 
Tony
Berardi's artistic roots started in photography
when he began his career as a photographer at the Chicago American, then Chicago Today and finally the Chicago Tribune. He was Director of Photography and Chief Photographer of several newspapers including the Chicago Tribune. His images won national and
international awards, including
the J.C. Penney award for
best fashion photography.
