365 Portraits - The Book is now on sale at: http://www.365portraits.com/book/ Order Now!!
I'm Bill Wadman, a New York-based photographer who after completing my first 365 Project, and then a weekly 52 Project, has taken it upon myself to shoot and post one portrait every day of 2007. The photo will have been taken that day, and each day will be a different person. Some will be in the studio, some will be in the wild. Hopefully they will all be interesting.
FYI, I am NOT Our365portraits.com who places Craigslist ads looking for photographers. I'm pretty sure they give an email address to reply to, and it's not mine. Thanks.

XD This made me giggle... a lot. His hat is the awesome, I want that hat, and maybe that shirt. But, anyway, good job.

Wow. There is lots of life in this picture. I love it.

I like especially the fact that he's the only static thing in the shot - everyone else is moving, blurred. I'm curious how much PhotoShop went into this one? (Not that it really matters - it's still life!)

2 + 2 = 5 (for extremely large values of 2) Bill is an amazing photographer to work with, absolute pleasure!

Wow, what a beautifull colourfull picture. I like the fact that people around him are moving and that he's standing still.

I believe this is one of my favorites, because I was kind of getting tired of the serious pictures that you have to think deeply to interpret or discover their personalities. This is clear and simple. :D
Danielle Ngo
Love this! The colors, his face, the motion, everything!
Erin
when this popped up I laughed and went "Yay!" so I guess there's that quality of surprise and excitement! And I agree with Danielle that it's nice not to have a serious photo. Kinda like mine ;) 4/26 people- check it out.

I think this is one of my favorites so far. It's fun and colorful and creative and I just love everything about it. The facial expression and the eyes make this photo really come alive.
