In the art world, Ryan McGinley needs no introduction. From having a solo exhibition at the Whitney at the ripe age of 26 to being mentioned on the teen soap opera Gossip Girl, McGinley is one of, if not the art star of my generation. While the backdrops have changed from the Lower East Side of New York City to the American Southwest and beyond, one thing remains constant: the celebration of youth. Ryan achieves this every summer with a band of modern day pranksters, and it just so happens that one of these pranksters is 22 year-old BMXer and photographer Chad Moore. Like many, Chad has picked up a camera along the way, only his photos are quite different from the immaculate action shots most choose to take. Chad was kind enough to let me pick his brain about landing a dream job and much more.
