“ I have been a working exhibiting photographer since the 1960s and used every lab in Northern California (current and defunct). Working with Brad has been a dream come true. My images, be they color or black-and-white, have never looked better. And that’s saying a lot coming from someone who hand-printed all his own black-and-white prints for four decades, and worked with many of the best pro labs on the West Coast for color printing. ”— Roger Minickwww.rogerminick.com
“ When I first met Brad I realized I had finally found the person to help me create beautiful pigment prints from my film negatives. I am an expert at chromogenic printing so I am very fussy about color. Brad is patient and has just enough dry humor to make working together a pleasure. ”— Janet Delaneywww.janetdelaney.com
“ Brad helped me upgrade my printer and print my recent solo show in France. Brad recommended replacing my problematic Epson 4800 with a 24″ Canon printer for my home studio, and assisted my transition from Epson to Canon printers and software. I asked him to help me print for my upcoming show because I saw that he could make better prints of my photos than I could myself. I enjoyed working with Brad in my studio, and I appreciated how clearly he explained to me what he was doing so I could learn while we printed. I continue to be amazed at the richness and details he got from my files and translated into beautiful, exhibition-grade prints. ”— Gail Skoffwww.gailskoff.com
“ Brad has been so great to work with throughout the process of creating prints to match the quiet and subtle colors that I want to bring out in my body of work from Antarctica. I have found that Brad’s technical skill and printing sensibility results in beautiful prints that can seamlessly be exhibited next to each other, especially in comparison to previous endeavors I’ve made to get high quality scans and prints from other labs and digital darkrooms. In addition to his knowledge of digital scanning and print processes, his experience in contemporary art and photography informs his ability to make exhibition quality work that is quite beautiful. ”— Michelle Ottwww.michelleott.com
“ Brad literally made it possible for me to get into the International Center of Photography’s Documentary and Photojournalism program. A week my application and portfolio were due I accosted documentary photographer Ken Light in his office at the City College of San Francisco for submission advice. After looking at my color darkroom prints I had been slaving over in the darkroom, he told me that it may be possible for me to get into the program, but that my prints needed serious help! In total panic I called Brad. It was either that day or the next that I arrived at his studio, and we spent the next week collaborating on every f*****g detail (for someone who couldn’t print her own work I was totally particular!). Brad’s technical skill is so over the top that I’m still amazed by it (even after my years in New York City and going through the ICP program). Add Brad’s technical ability to his artistic bent, patience and wicked sense of humor… he makes an ideal co-conspirator. Working with Brad was a total pleasure, my prints were beautiful and he made it possible for me to get into school. ”— Talia Hermanwww.taliaherman.com
