Corrado was born in February at a New York hospital way back in the early 60's. Some attribute his penchant for the creative to this planetary moment in time, but his mother has a completely different take on things and tends to take most of the credit for anything exceptional in Corrado's life. The rest, she blames on his father. As a young boy, Corrado displayed a natural flair for distorting reality which, as you know, is paramount in the photo retouching business(his current vocation). Altering report card grades, forging the ocasional sick note and concealing the many bumps and bruises he allegedly inflicted upon his little sister- usually caused by one of many failed attempts at trying to emulate Bruce Lee- were an important part of growing up for young Corrado.
