My heart lies under the Southern California sun.
Photography is my life. Empty highways, country roads, busy cities. Give me a pack of cigarettes and a camera and I'm good.
Nikon, Nikon, Nikon.
All my photos are for sale. If you are interested, just send me a flickr-mail.
I HATE notes. Please do not leave them.

Read lessAbout halfway through my 365, I discovered Matt. Ever since I have been trying to do what he does with light and shadow and feeling. This dude is like 20 years my junior, but brings so much of himself to every single shot ... I am just floored. Now that I am finished my 365 ... well, I am by no means finished with… Read more
About halfway through my 365, I discovered Matt. Ever since I have been trying to do what he does with light and shadow and feeling. This dude is like 20 years my junior, but brings so much of himself to every single shot ... I am just floored. Now that I am finished my 365 ... well, I am by no means finished with Matt. I still look at his shots each day, and each day I think how I can incorporate what he does into my own work. He is to me one of the more positive forces on flickr!!! I'd say check out his stream, but his fame probably precedes any advice I may have on the subject. Well, even if you've checked him out, check him out again. He is THAT good!!

You just 'get' some peoples photography and his i can look at all day. Stories created, you just wonder. What posessed, what was behind them. And I swear to god… Read more
Im in awe of Matt. In awe yet terrified. I know i'll meet him one day cos its a mission but to be head to head with that kind of talent..how do you play that!? You just 'get' some peoples photography and his i can look at all day. Stories created, you just wonder. What posessed, what was behind them. And I swear to god thats a gift. THAT is what photography is about. Seeing beyond. Not just a frame. The picture that takes you beyond that. I cant speak highly enough so take a long hard look people . Humble. Talented. Take notice.
Read lessmatt's photos are some of my favorites on flickr. he captures the essence of any situation in such a unique way & inspires me to try harder with my own photos. he has an amazing eye & a ridiculous talent when it comes to lighting. definitely one of my favorites :)
If you don't often get smoke filled, highly emotion shadows, deep bright colors, or high contrast black and white...obliviously you are missing out! Check it, he'll blow your mind with his one of a kind style. Stay rad dude!
Matt is a great photographer and a sexy person to work with.
An amazing and inspiring artist every day, Mistah Grubah has an independent and fantastic view of the world around us. His use of perspective is fantastic, and his skillset extends far beyond the use of shadows and smoke, although he is phenomenal in that.

Matt, where do I even begin? I've loved your photos since the day I found your stream in the "This Is Today!" group. One can see his sense of life, his personality, and his artistry come alive in all of his photos. Seems tough in the photos, but I still get a sense that he's a sweetheart in his comments. It's been … Read more

It's been great to follow you along your 365, Matt! :) *hugs*

I met Matt a short while ago when he left a comment on my stream, I paid him the courtesy of looking at his work in return and I was sure glad I did, this man's stream screams with edge and power. each image is deep and yet possesses a smooth artistic flair. though I have never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, though his writing I can tell he is an honest person with a soul deep love for photography. a very gifted photog and one I am proud to know.
Read lessMatt's skills are breathtaking - literally. Straight out of the camera shots look like they have been processed for hours by an experienced photographer, and he gets the same thing naturally. He seems to have wonderful visions of what light/tones will work for shots and easily creates those situations.
Hardcore. Raw. Truth. ( The photography and the human.) Pretty much kick ass all around in all ways.
Matts photography represents a reality that most photographers cannot capture. Period. His style is real, gritty, beautiful, and full of a depth that most cannot begin to understand. I love his ability to go from shooting wicked city scenes, to silhouettes of some of the most beautiful parts of PA! Matt, your photogra… Read more

Matt, your photography and style remain an inspiration to me, and my future in this passion!! Thank you for providing one of the most intriguing and visual appealing streams on flickr. One!
Read lessMatt is a phenomenal photographer!! He has a big heart with even bigger dreams. He's a big inspiration and an incredible person. Each one of his photos tells its own story. I enjoy looking at his photostream to see what new things he has captured...scratch.
I check in to Matt's photostream every day and each photograph, it seems, is better than the one before. I am never disappointed in what I find here and am often inspired. Matt's photographs are more than mere digital images. They are portals that convey mood and emotion from his heart to the viewer's. Raw, rough, and … Read more
I check in to Matt's photostream every day and each photograph, it seems, is better than the one before. I am never disappointed in what I find here and am often inspired. Matt's photographs are more than mere digital images. They are portals that convey mood and emotion from his heart to the viewer's. Raw, rough, and frequently heart wrenching, Matt's photography remains fresh and real amid the fluff that is sometimes Flickr.
Read lessI was first drawn towards Matt's 365 set...the colors,tones,words and perspective. I then started to notice his eye for everything else...he has a brilliant style. I can only hope to learn more about him as the days go on.... plus he is a badass with a badass hoodie. Know 'bout it.
