Betty New - Octogenarian Hiker On Life's Journey / Mariposa Sequoia Grove, Yosemite October 03, 2007
what a way of life... what a life... just look at her! - samsplanet That I like. Lots. More please.
How's the outdoors Andrea? - Jack BTW, those tall brown things with greeny yellow bushy things on top are called T-R-E-E-S. - YAAAAAY! Oh, this is so exciting! Happy people come from California. - Mary Another beautiful portrait Bill. It's so great to see someone in their 80s out happy and hiking around. Activity truly does keep you young. Part of why I plan on photowalking the rest of my life is so that when I'm 80 I can be active and happy like Betty would appear to be. - Thomas Hawk - http://thomashawk.com I love it! What an inspiration she is! And the photo is killer, too. - Elizabeth - http://hotforsheep.typepad.com I love it! This is a picture that makes me smile all over -- thank you, Betty & Bill! - nuno Awesome. - carpeicthus I wanna look like her when I'm her age. Beautiful! - Jocelyn - http://www.myspace.com/jocelynryder just to let you know everyday in photography class i check your page for the picture of the day... i love your stuff,very inspiring ecspecially to a highschool senior like myself....
thanks for the pictures and the inspiration that it brings :] - photogeek Would love to know what was said just before this picture was taken. Great stuff Bill! It's time to plan a trip to Yosemite! - Jim I love how joyful Betty looks... enraptured even. I hope that if and when I ever get that old I can be that happy. - Diane She has got to be the coolest octogenarian I've ever encountered in my life. :] - Danielle Good! I'm smiling. She loves life. I can see it in the image.
How nice to see something other than the ugly big city in the background. I'm glad you are getting away from NY for a while. - John Andrews This is such a super uplifting picture.....she has such a knowing cheeky smile.....I really like this one..... - Steve Dixon One of your best and one of my favorites - I keep coming back to it every day. I do not know Betty, unfortunately, but this incredible portrait brings out her obvious love of life and spirit of adventure - someone who truly knows it is not the destination, but the journey, that matters most! You make her portrait come to life! - Julie Love Her picture just instantly put a smile on my face. - Trinh i love this. just love it. - claire
I'm Bill Wadman, a New York-based photographer who after completing my first 365 Project, and then a weekly 52 Project, took it upon myself to shoot and post one portrait every day of 2007. Each photo was taken that day, and each day was a different subject. Some were be in the studio, some in the wild. Hopefully they are all interesting.
