Will Quam is a photographer of architecture, a writer and a researcher. He has been called a "brick whisperer" and has been conducting tours of Chicago neighborhoods with a special emphasis on brick, the omnipresent material of so many of our structures. He is convinced that nothing is boring and excitement can be found in anything---even bricks.
