Amy These are incredible. I def. need to shoot more random crap. Finding the extraordinary in ordinary indeed. I love the fence of white bikes. That's awesome.

Rachel Owens Such a timely reminder. Thanks for sharing your life and (as always) your amazing photos.

Angela I agree each time I find another book in my hand to stay "fresh" in ideas for taking photos and running a proper business. However, it isn't just taking photos for myself, it's the days I just leave the house without the camera. For when I return home I always say aloud, "I knew I should have taken my camera!" I had two days in a row like that, but then I thought maybe that day was just for me and me alone. :) Keep up the amazing work Matt. Jul 25, 2010 ~ 2:51am
Rae Mati Matt, Matt, Matt, you never cease to amaze me. You are truly inspiring ...

Amanda H I love all the bike pictures, how fantastic with the clouds in the backdrop. Amazing photos and thanks for the reminder. Again we need you to speak in Dallas.

Daniel Fuentealba nice. my favorite... the one with the sun through the windshield.

Erick Claytor Such beautiful work, Matt. I am sure that it was nice to shoot for yourself. Here in Portland, OR we have a lot of those white bikes positioned around town... they are memorials rather than art. You know, it is amazing what your passion can capture!

Barbie Schwartz Matt, I would have LOVED to attend your talk in Austin. Your work inspires me every day to see art in the ordinary things around me.

Laurie Salado is such a beautiful town, and your images really captured its charm! I am in such awe of your talent and generosity in sharing it. Thank you so much!

Karen I'm so so sad I missed the opportunity to hear you speak and to catch up with everyone. I am confident though that you rocked the house! :) Would love to hear the podcast if you ever post it!

Jamie Lapeyrolerie Thanks again for sharing at Austin PPA. Bummer I had to sneak out early, but truly enjoyed what you had to share! You work is always so inspiring!

Monica Oh, I meant to add, you're right, you have to set out with the intention to find something extraordinary (in shooting and in life). What you have found here are incredible and worth taking the time. Brilliant presentation, BTW. Jul 23, 2010 ~ 8:59am
Monica Aaahhhhhh, REfreshing! So nice to see you in Austin, Matt. Looks like you are fired up again. In all my years of looking at photos, I've never seen anything like these...ever. Jul 23, 2010 ~ 8:56am
Ralph Grant Matt, your comments ring so true with me. I'm not a pro photographer for the exact reasons you mention. My fear is that what I love to do would turn into a job (I have one of those) so I shoot for ME every time I pick up my camera. However, that makes me selfish with my art. You share your gifts with everyone that you capture in your fantastic portraiture. Keep it up. Finding a way to make a living at something you love is true success!
