Bertieri Creative Photo Designs Creative Photo Designs Publishes Roadside Attractions Book Milwaukee, WI -- January 31, 2007 -- Creative Photo Designs has published their first book, "The American Road", featuring stunning images of roadside attractions and architecture from various locations in the U.S. The book "The American Road" is a culmination of various years of work photographing Roadside Attractions by fine art and stock photographer Mark R. Bertieri. "The American Road" contains over 50 images of Roadside Attractions from across the U.S. "The book contains images that were taken, simply, by the side of the road. Whether it be a unique country landscape, a vibrant urban environment, a quirky, off beat tourist attraction, or piece of roadside architecture, these images celebrate a by-gone era. Highways and roads create pathways for travelers to explore the cultures, cuisines, and nostalgia of America. From city to city, roads link different cultures as they thread thru society, a ribbon of life you may say," says Mark R. Bertieri lead photographer for Creative Photo Designs. "The American Road" features quirky, tacky, tourist attractions by the side of the road. These roadside treasures are slowly fading away. The images are of eclectic, oddball, and offbeat historical architecture. The book is published by LuLu Press (www.lulu.com). Creative Photo Designs is a fine art photography and stock image studio.

Bertieri, lead photographer for Creative Photo Designs will be showing his latest project From The Friendly Confines that features images of Wrigley Field from a slightly different perspective. "The images are not your standard stadium shots but offer more of a historical perspective. Wrigley Field From The L is taken from the subway platform outside the stadium, which is shot from the same viewpoint as a vintage image I found from 1929, less of course the Model A automobiles. In researching the shoot I studied the history of some of the more unique features of the stadium. The meaning of the flags on the scoreboard and foul poles for example are historical features usually not though of or that well known," explains Mark. Previously a sports photographer for the Associated Press, David Bernacchi still shoots a wide variety of various athletic events on the high school, collegiate, and professional levels. County Stadium - A Retrospective, are black and white historical images of this legendary stadium, which was home to both the Milwaukee Braves and Milwaukee Brewers professional baseball teams.

Bertieri Creative Photo Designs Creative Photo Designs Photographer Wins Best In Show Sturgeon Bay, WI -- Sept. 22, 2006 -- Milwaukee area photographer Mark R. Bertieri was awarded "Best in Show" for his photograph "Day is Done" from the Door County Maritime Museum. The 11th Annual Juried Maritime Photography Exhibit featured photographers across the Midwest featuring images taken in Door County with a maritime theme. "It was the end of a busy day shooting the sights of Fish Creek, WI, when I came across this classic wooden boat tethered to a pier. The shadow on the water almost seemed surreal since the sun was not overhead but setting to the west. This was the last shot of the day, the day was done. The image was double processed for both the highlights and the shadows and merged into a single image," says Mark R. Bertieri, lead photographer for Creative Photo Designs. "My eyes popped the first time I saw the image, I knew it was the winner," said Door County Maritime Museum exhibit curator June A. Larson.

Bertieri, are featured in the CPD expanded panoramic collection. The full-color lighthouse images were taken from recent seasonal shoots around Lake Michigan.
