About the photographs...

"A genuine artist with a compassionate eye." That’s how Pulitzer Prize winner Studs Terkel describes the photo illustrations of Alfred Charles Bonanno. Mr. Bonanno’s photographs have appeared in many national publications including the Chicago Tribune, TIME and Parade magazine. His extensive portfolio covers a wide range of subjects and is held in numerous galleries and private collections around the world.

Al has been a supporter of Chileda for many years. His ability to candidly portray life at Chileda in real-time — without posing his subjects or using artificial light — is evident in every photograph he takes. His images are used throughout our Web site and we are grateful for his friendship.

Mr. Bonanno resides in Ladysmith, Wis. His email address is bonanno@jrec.com
