Richard Yee - Software Engineer, Photographer, Future Coffee Shop Owner / Sin City October 08, 2007
He doesn't strike me as the gambling type... but I have been wrong before. - Mikey The background really distracts from the person and doesn't tell a story. Sorry, but this is just a snapshot. Not up to your recent good shots. - John Andrews Sure it tells a story, you must not know much about the Flamingo. I like the more casual feel of this image in comparison with the recent crop of photos. And the lighting on this guys face is spot on. - Neil - www.plushcreative.com what makes this picture interesting for me is the perspective of the background. driveway and roof... - samsplanet A mild mannered computer engineer, father and husband, out on the town. What adventures await? But who ironed that shirt? - Karen Yee Turns out this photo is less about gambling, and more about taking a chance. I hope he gets that coffee shop. - Duane Ebesu - http://www.365portraits.com/index.php?date=0928 unless he's trying to get it by ways of gambling... - samsplanet Terrible picture. It looks like a flamingo is growing out of the top of Richard's head... - Chris Thompson - cjt.smugmug.com sorry - this is not a favorite, it looks like he is wearing the "Flamingo" sign like an uncomfortable hat upon his head...sorry! Oh well, looking forward to the next one instead! - story - prettylittlemess.wordpress.com OK, I'll agree - it does look like a vacation snapshot. But I like it! I see an interesting shot of a Vegas spot known round the world. The entire picture is clearly focused and colorful, with the desert blue sky (matching the blue shirt, by the way) the tall white building, pink sign, yellow entryway and green shrubs. His head and shoulders are nicely framed by the "pie" and other lights. More importantly, I see an individual just oozing personality and pleasantness -- so much so that i would very much like to know more. - Iris Great perspective shot and wonderful, vibrant color in this shot. Very warm, vivid and appealing. And his expression is warm to match. Great balance once again between subject and scene. I think you have a knack for this.

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.
