Neil Bar-or - Globetrotter / Red Hook February 11, 2007
wOw! is it a portrait of the enfeebled train or the itinerant man?
striking. everything about this is utterly striking. - s. great composition and setting, but it's the colours especially that I love on this one. orange and blue make each other stand out (as the Impressionists knew - their form of HDR perhaps? ;-))... so that's partly why it's so beautiful and striking, I think. another great shot, Bill. - andrea - www.andreamann.com blue, red, and pretty. - Josh Rothhaas - definitions.wordpress.com You've photographed several photographers/artists as part of this series. When you photograph a photographer or artist (or anyone else for that matter), do you work with the subject collabratively on how they wish to be represented, or are you making the decisions about context, composition, lighting, etc. unilaterally? - Jonathan Sometimes it's a collaboration and sometimes they trust me. Probably more of the later most of the time. Neil and I worked together on this one. - bill - www.billwadman.com I don't think I've ever actually had a fondness for rust until now.
It's almost like he's leaning on a painting. Accessible art! - Boo - http://www.xanga.com/Boowasborn
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.
