The iPad is retrograde. It tries to turn us back into an audience again. That is why media companies and advertisers are embracing it so fervently, because they think it returns us all to their good old days when we just consumed, we didn’t create, when they controlled our media experience and business models and we came to them.

So when I saw Bill Wadman’s 365 Portrait project, I realized what a huge undertaking it was for him to make a portrait a day for an entire year. That got me thinking about what I could do and I came up with the idea of making a portrait a day for 30 days of total strangers. 30 portraits in 30 days of 30 people I had never met before.
Because the seed of this project came from Bill, I thought it would be great to interview him while I’m doing the 30 Strangers project again and ask him about his own process, his reason for doing it, what he learned, and other such things. He graciously agreed. And so, here is an interview
