David and Katherine Bradley's WHCAD Party

Outside the Embassy Row home of David and Katherine Bradley, guests spill into the driveway. This happens every year, chiefly because of the two cars being shown-off by Atlantic Media advertisers. The party happens out front, inside, and out back. Photograph by Jeff Martin.
