Buzz Aldrin - Moonwalker, Apollo 11 / Rose Center | 05 September 2007 |
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.

Wow, Bill, congratulations. Not only did you get THE original Buzz Lightyear, but it's a great picture too. Well done, all around.

How long did it take for you to come down off the ceiling after that one?! Good catch!

Walks on the moon & dresses snappy! Kudos to the photographer & the subject for that one!
buckycatt
love it. great light effect.

I know someone already said it, but WOW! How amazing! I'm in the middle of reading Moondust, and Buzz Aldrin seems to be one of the most extraordinary people. A real live Moonwalker. I'd be all over the place just to spot him in a restaurant. I'm pretty much all over the place now. Will get to you about how it looks when the shock has died down! Damn fine work Bill!
Paul
OMG :).....its brilliant how you used the moonlike deep light and shadow.
Satya
This is too cool. You are cool!

Hey, Billy, Tess and I are madly impressed. How amazing. What a real vote of confidence that he was up for having his photo done. For Buzz, I guess that makes two impressive achievements in one lifetime now ;-).

Hey Bill - What an awe-inspiring shot - the look on Buzz's face says it all - it say's I've been there, and you captured that. You must be over the moon. This will be right up next to the one of him I have on the moon that he signed for me. You (Moon) Rock

Whoa That is Buzz Aldrin no way. My Childhood Hero! I love this site...

I love Buzz. He once popped a twat in the jaw who came up to him and said the Moon landings were faked. Respect! Not sure about his tie though. Just joking Buzz.
Mat Toor
awesome Bill congrats on getting this one!

WOW - there are no other words.
A.M.
you. did. not. The moon background is awesome, of course, and he looks fabulous. On days like this, the project really takes on a scavenger hunt feel - "Find Buzz Aldrin" - and everyone shows up empty-handed but you.
AL
Wow. Amazing.
Becca Brown
You Go Bill...makes me wanna borrow your Earth to the Moon DVD set again. Killer Pic...

Congratulations on making this wonderful image, Bill -- I hear that the gathering of moonwalkers was amazing. I for one like the tie -- a nice counterpoint to the rocky and arid moonscape!

Wow, man - I gotta hear the story of how you connected with this guy! Very very cool, and great shot.
Seth
The perfect birthday present, even though I came to it late. What a day that must have been for you - and you deserve it!
Megann
Congrat's, Bill. This had to be a dream come true. Well done.
James
Nice get, Bill. I remember being in there with you, on President's Day this year. Glad things are working out for you on this project!
