New York-based Photographer Bill Wadman, creator of 2007's 365 Portraits, has announced that he's "going to to start shooting lots of portraits again" -- and he's looking for subjects. See "Daily Portraits, or Nearly So, Redux" for more information.

"In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it."
~ Ernst Fischer (1899-1972), The Necessity of Art
