365 Portraits

Bill Wadman is no stranger to projects. Among his past endeavors, he spent one year making something new everyday (The 365 Project) and another every week (52 Project). Think he's had enough? No way. In January of this year, the New York-based photographer embarked on a new venture: To snap a photo of a different person each day of 2007. At first, he worried about running out of subjects. Now, he frets that he has too many. And no wonder—submit to a sitting with Bill, and you get a portrait of yourself in sumptuous light, in a witty situation , flush with rich hues, or just looking gorgeous. Who wouldn't want to step before the camera? Besides the run of marvelous faces, Bill's current project also reveals the myriad ways people view their occupations on Earth. We particularly enjoyed "King of the Balloon People," "Concerned Six Week Old," "M&M Eating Dinosaur," and "Cupcake Enthusiast." Consider us "Wadman Enthusiasts."

If that baby is six years old, I *am* concerned.

But the page says six weeks (whew!).

Thank you, mtag8892! That would be a very odd six year old. I have corrected my error. Whew, again!

That's great!!! It needs "a long & winding road" to complete your "lifetime dream"....for a noble cause. Train someone to be your successor someday...and help upload in the net for a "show".
