I remember going through GQ, Interview, and British Vogue in ’79 and seeing those amazing Bruce Weber and Richard Avedon photos and campaigns….Calvin Klein & Ralph Lauren ads. I had them plastered all over my room as a kid.“ Brad moved to downtown Chicago and attended Columbia College while working part time for Ron Gordon (The premier Black and white printing lab) and assisted other photographers from New York and Chicago.
