Matthew - 30/100
While on a little mini-vacation to Arizona, I spent the morning with my Nikon at the Phoenix Botanical Gardens. Such a beautiful place. After a few hours of shooting, I stopped in at the attached restaurant, Gertrude's. Being by myself, I decided to sit at the bar where i fortunately met Matthew who was extremely upbeat and enthusiastic, making excellent suggestions for food and wine.
Matthew is from Oklahoma and is a photographer himself. He is looking forward to making his way to Colorado this summer to work in the same hotel they filmed "The Shining" at (one of MY favorite movies by the way!). He hasn't been to the mountains yet, and is looking forward to it.
He shoots Canon and actually had his camera with him behind the bar since he would be shooting a band in a local Irish bar later this evening. He was very happy to share some of his shots with me on his tablet. He had quite a few interesting night shots with light painting. He made some good suggestions on shooting the gardens at night which I will be doing this evening.
Enjoyed our conversation, Matthew. Thanks for participating in my project and allowing me to get that bottle of my home town vodka, Titos, in the picture! Good luck with your photography and your travels! You have such a great attitude, I just know you will do well!
This picture is #30 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/
