Portraits

The portraits on Bill Wadman's website (http://www.365portraits.com/index.php?date=1230) are my favorites. They seem to express the diversity of people of the world and are extremely colorful. Although they convey diversity of people, however, I would like them better if they reflected the diversity of emotions. Most of the portraits are apparently snapshots of regular people at work, doing what they do. It would be very interesting to see this photographer try to capture people expressing various emotions: grief, hardship, joy, etc. But the portraits are still amazing because many of them show people who seem to be on a mission. Whether it's a mission to save the world, solve life's great mysteries, or collect the most rifles, I particularly enjoy these portraits of people trying to accomplish something.
