This is the first of a series of portraits of what I'm calling 'heroes' of mine. A list of people who inspire and interest me that I think would make great subjects. You can see the list and explanation here: http://heroes.billwadman.com/
Matthew Carter
For those of you who have ever used the fonts Verdana, or Georgia, or Bell Centennial, or a myriad others, thank Matthew Carter. He's the man who designed them. And yes he still uses the G3 on the right, because apparently the version of Fontographer that the heavies in the business like to use is still OS9 only. Oh, and he was a terribly nice man.

For the longest time, my scrolling marquee screensaver at work stated: "Verdana is my favorite font."
Bill, your portraits are quite remarkable and for one of my favorite photographers to capture the creator of one of my favorite things..I'm speechless. All I can say is thank you! Oh and one of the endearing things about the photo is the kitty captured below one of the desks :)
