My name is Matt and I am a Photojournalist and Photography Director based in San Antonio, Texas. This channel is about photography, creative exploration, and learning whatever we can from one another. Back in 2003, I left everything I knew to chase a dream. For me, that dream was to go and "see the world" that was closed to a poor-kid from South Texas without much in the way of a formal public education. I learned skills like photography and editing. Along the way I learned how the business of creative arts. Now, I am here to share some of what I have learned with you. Hopefully, we can have conversations and I can learn things from you, too.
I like to explore the world around me, see it differently than others, and make a difference wherever I go. I've worked in and around some sort of journalism or media much of my adult life. I've had plenty of different experiences and have work for major outlets around the world. Come along with me on this journey through life and the arts.

A Different Perspective: "I Don't See A Fractured America"
#america #society #military #family #interview #photography
On a recent photoshoot I sat down Verily, who grew up in a military family. We were working on a project for her "Golden Year," which she explains. But she also opens up about her view of America and she offers some advice for others and talks about learning to drive in Italy. Most importantly, she talks about her view of being an American.

Art Bell is a true legend and I love listening to his shows I work afternoons and am up late but I smoke outside lmao!! Thank you for giving him much deserved recognition 😃
Smoking outside is great if you have a comfortable place to do it lol! Thanks for the comment and for watchng!
You need to add "stupid" to your title. Your wrong about the appeal process. Beyond that Trump is the former president of the United States. What you're missing is how the trial was conducted. No case has been conducted in this manner with all of the ethical violations along with illegal jury instructions. This case was a guilty set up from the beginning. You're missing the whole point of this case
Exactly how am I wrong about the appeals process? Appeals are not a given but more of a luxury item for those who can afford them in 90% of cases in America. I've never known a poor commoner to just get an appeal because he asked for one. Your attorney has to actually file the notice of appeal. Poor people don't generally get an appeal unless it is a capitol case--that my friend is a fact. My point here is that almost every trial that is conducted is a sham and most of Americans never actually get that right because of the plea system. You're right--most cases are not "conducted in this manner" because most cases are never actually heard. Every single one of us are guilty and set-up from the start of the process unless you can afford to fight it. No, I think I get the point pretty clear--justice for one isn't justice for all.
So far it looks like a normal small town, I’m thinking you’ve never seen Detroit… its scorched earth nasty ghettos
About 5 1/2 into the video I have a friend who lives on ocean drive but the water side and he purchased the 2 orange circlar boats that where at the trade center parking lot ,he is wanting them to be a short term rental .they are in his back yard. You can probably see them from the park on ocean drive
Incredibly honest and intelligent
Thank you! I really appreciate you watching!
😂.... justified....write off also...tehe
For real!
❤
👏 thank you for the stamp of approval....as my oldest son would say APPROVED [ IMAGINE THIS IN RED]🤣
😁
😮😂

biden, hillary, obama, bush, pelosi, the list goes on forever.. all of them are essentially given the right to commit crimes so their establishment circle can maintain power. they all deserve to be in jail. i'd be fine with trump being charged if everyone was. it doesn't matter that he gets special privilege when his privilege is so much less than the establishment that condemns him. i'm an independent, voted obama and trump. i wish keanu reeves would run. have a sub dude nice original content.
100%! I totally agree with you. Kenau Reeves? Interesting. Thanks for subscribing!
@@MattPierceBlog keanu is just down to earth, i've never heard a bad thing about him. he's everything politicians are not.
I'd still safer at night in most parts of CC than other major cities in Texas or elsewhere.
Again I hit today's thumbs up but it is still showing zero. Why does UA-cam not like you?? You are right that those of us good guys don't have a voice but the nut heads , anti-Christian, anti-democratic...etc...all have rights and a big voice.
You got it on the nail on this one...I agree that the FOCUS on something else 'MAJOR' is just that...a major distraction. I greatly appreciate you giving us a piece of your mind without having to curse and be aggressive in this topic. Thank you. I feel comfortable watching without my earphones with my kiddies. You don't find that around much. 🎉
Thank you! I will admit that the occasional swear word does slip out but I do try to watch it as best as I can! I really appreciate you tuning in! Thanks so much!
@@MattPierceBlog oh please and thank you.. ✨🙏
Hi Matt. I saw you on Tim’s channel. I think that’s fantastic that you’ve gotten some high paying clients! Good for you! I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing with me some ideas about how to get some of those niche clients. :) I am teaching English to some Chinese students that I managed to get from when I taught at DaDaABC but I have a background in banking and the medical industry. I would love to get a good a few high paying clients from these niches possibly. What are your thoughts?
Hi, Susan! Sounds interesting what you have a background in there. I will say this--NONE of my students are China based. Not one. So, that being said I would certainly look at other markets where incomes are much higher and much more on a level par with your local income needs. Secondly, I really like it is being truly genuine and real with them and making sure that you are utilizing your network effectively. I am always happy to help!
*I LOVE YOU.*
Well, It is nice to be loved instead of hated! Thank you for watching!
How does one find out about projects? The camera shows what we feel as photographers, very interesting!
That is the million dollar question, right? I am planning a video about this because it just really depends on what kind of project you are working on. Ya know? I mean you find commercial projects differently than documentary projects or personal sessions. It is a great conversation to have.
@@MattPierceBlog look forward to it!
Love your motive and not that you are doing your THING by not doing the same ol sane ol. Great production Matt. Thank you for your story...now im in a rabbit hole on your channel...lol. Good job ..🙌✨ new subscriber...I believe in your mission although I'm not a guy or do the bar thing...😂
Thank you! That is just too funny! I am like rolling over here. You know, one of clients who works on race cars once told me the best solution is to "re-engineer but differently." And the "Rabbit hole" I hope is at least a great trip! Stay in touch!
@@MattPierceBlog diving in again today. ✨ happy weekend
why did I hit thumbs up yet it still shows zero...tried several times...how odd
Well, I will take your comment as a "Thumbs up!" lol. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch this. I am very passionate about this subject and really believe in what I am saying here. I actually have another video coming out on a topic similar to this. Thank you so much for your support!
I agree! My father and I have years talked about how the rich are getting richer and the hard workers are getting poorer. Something needs to change! I grew up on a farm and surrounded by working farms that were slowly destroyed by rich fat cats. What a shame!!!
Same here. Same here. I am a product of it! Thank you again for all of your support!
Sounds good! Learning is a journey. Saw you on Teacher Dude.
Ahhh thank you! Learning is such a journey!
Matt, I love this, I saw you on Teacher Dude Tim's channel, and you (so far) really speak my language. I have always been someone who didn't fit in the mold, didn't follow the crowd, and you seem like that too. Thanks for sharing. You have inspired me to do the same. :)
Thank you so much! I truly value the connection and the comment. Thank you for subscribing too! I'm happy to help!
I like it ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Mark my words: this will be the next major investment spot.
When you're driving into town, do you hear that creepy music, too?
Hey Matt,🌿 I recently stumbled upon your channel, and I must say, I'm absolutely hooked! 🌻🌞 As an English tutor, I completely resonate with your perspective on language learning platforms. It feels like many of them prioritize profits over genuinely assisting learners. Your dedication to making English learning both accessible and enjoyable is truly inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work!😇
Thank you! I do really believe that we have to pay our good fortune forward and unfortunately, many of the platforms just aren't socially responsible.
I can tell you that the Japanese AKA sushi restaurant downtown is owned by a mean South Korean lady who will have your car towed!! They also serve previously frozen fish with the freezer burn cut off and re-serve rice and california rolls that were not eaten from previously sold plates. Ghetto? Absolutly. Lived there, worked there. The place smells awful.
repent and change is so important for me to do
I really enjoyed your thoughts in the interview with Tim. Glad that you are a man of faith too! God Bless!
Thank you so much! I really do appreciate you and appreciate you taking the time to dig into this topic!
the old town is the definition of Ghetto.
Very well thought and explained… not everyone is as honest as you, but it’s also a cost effective, affordable city with clean public beaches.
CC looks like a dump!
Padre Island is the place to live if you have to move to the Corpus area. CC is an old and dirty city. Employment there is geared towards the service industry. Low wage city.
Great message. This is not just photos... any art form... music, films, art, photos, even a YT video. I recall my art teacher telling me that a lot of the "greats" were not often liked during their lives, and only found "fame" after they passed on... often decades later or hundreds of years later.
Thanks so much! This is totally true. Thank you for watching and commenting. Really, thank you.
Vivian Maier, but I don't think her photos were seen until after she died.
This is such an important aspect of photography! I think it should be included in classes more, too. I know entering photo contests can have a similar effect on me, especially if the photo doesn't pass the first tier. I always say photo has to be for me, but it's always a balance with trying to process feedback. People love photos I may not like as much as others, and that can be confusing. Thanks for the video!
I am glad this struck a chord and that is a good thought that this should be in m ore classes. I have to admit that I have never done a photography contest at all. However, I can see where you are coming from with this and could see how that world could get pretty toxic rather quickly. Thank you for watching and commenting. It means a lot. Truly.
There’s some “ghetto” areas but it’s mostly middle class.
I’m originally from Port Arthur, TX area but live in Massachusetts. Every time I drive from Houston to Port Arthur I ask the same question ‘why would you build a refinery and highway right there’? Terrible planning compared to some other states. Anyways, I’m looking for a condo to come back to TX. I guess I have to mark Corpus off the list unfortunately.
Great topic. Thanks for making this vid.
Thanks, Man! BTW, I really kind of took a liking to the Olivia video...I Am Gone is solid, too. It's fun stuff man! Keep rockin'
@@MattPierceBlog Awesome stuff. Thanks for checking out my music also really appreciate it.
@@MattPierceBlog Thanks Matt! Glad you liked it!
What else have you used?
Let's see. Ya know, what I did once too, was make one out of a tinted RV window pane that was busted out. That was kind of wild. I mean the real point here has to be to improvise, right?
Respect the hustle
I'm from San Antonio, when I stayed there I was able to date lots of Corpus girls that thought of as handsome, I'm back in San Antonio were girls see me differently . A not good looking, broke ass mexican.
No. Is a trash ass city tho
It's a shitty little town. It's corrupt, my son was accused of something got arrested we went through hell ,having to drive there for court from Houston ugly city. The judge said we don't want him in Corpus in our streets, basically guilty till proven innocent. All this bs, my wife crying every time we went there 20 grand lost ! The prosecutor dropped the case, the person said they were lying. No apology from judge or prosecutor. FUC$ Corpus
Corpus Christi had some awesome shows when stardust ballroom was around back in the day
Good
Thanks
He had Adam name the stars and it also says we will inhabit the universes like tents to dwell in.
Amen brother. If we go deeper the bible says it all because: - humans are created by God to inherit the earth. - the place of Godd Angels to dwell is not the earth= they are aliens. LORD Jesus Christ bless you
Did God create your hat printed in reverse?
Here we have another guy that takes everything out of context. The Bible doesn't say anything about dinosaurs either. The Bible doesn't say anything about gambling either, but we all know that it's a story of the Jewish people and gentiles that come into the knowledge of God
