      Hey Matt, I see you and other photographers shut your mouths about BLM & all the black shooting deaths…
      You should do a follow up, do some research, see if the death tolls are down since your boy Biden got into office for the black community.
      Cause now you look like a bandwagon talking head joker throwing a opinion out & fading away on the issue afterwards.

    Seeing your work in a publication feels unreal. It makes me happy that you've gotten the opportunity to take on a challenge like that. I'm curious about your thoughts on shooting for a job vs shooting leisurely. Does stress or time crunch change the creative process? Negatively or even positively? Would be a great video topic.

    As soon as I saw the lens on the camera I recognized the 67 lens and knew you had to had adapter in there. I just recently started using my 67 lens on my Sony body using an adapter too. Didn't realize that there would be no crop factor on the lens due to the focal length being in 35mm terms. Definitely interested in looking into a tilt shift one next. Didn't know how they worked but this video gave a good a example of how it works

    The Desert Sands image is gorgeous! Now, was that a lot of post production, was the video capture just crappy-dull, or did the lighting change drastically while you were shooting it? Because the rich colors and snap that you froze in time were just not there when you walked up to it in real time. I was also wondering about the keystone and if you adjusted it in post, but you answered that question. Nice work!

    Beautiful job ! I'm wondering how you managed to stick with your usual colors. Did you edit your images in Lightroom starting with the RAW files or did you use the Fuji film simulations in Jpeg ? I think you choosed the first option.
    The publications are great. It seems that they respected the ratios. It's sometimes tricky to deal with this kind of problems. Everybody's not fantastic when comes the time to cut into the images... I sometimes got crazy when I saw my photographs printed as I was working for newspapers, many years ago.
