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.

It's just PERFECT!!! I love it- the look of concentration on Jose's face, the derby, the composition. Amazing photograph.

funny

I love this - it's both beautiful (the tones and the light, esp. on the hat) and funny. however, I think you're taking this Photoshopping thing too far, as you've clearly removed the wire holding the hat upright.

Nice. This is more like what I'm used to. Way to go back to the basics, Bill. Well, your basics, anyway... :)
Dan (the original one) - http://studyhumanbehavior.blogspot.com
Charming. Tones, light, dof. He looks so earnest with that hat perched on his nose...

SPECTACULAR! :) First thought was an uncle everyone has. Second thought was a bonus scene from Thomas Crowne Affair. Well done, as always.
