Sports Illustrated made my day…

“Huh? But Matt’s not a sports person…?”

Too true. I’m not a sports person. But I am the type of person to feel good that his photography is in a national publication.

If you check out page 26 and 27 of the January 16th issue, you’ll understand.

So, I got’s me a few thanks to send out…

Mom and Dad, thanks for getting me that Pentax K1000, and paying/sending me to art school, and for not pressuring me too much about my job at Southwest, and for supporting me when I chose to leave. Thanks to my bro for being supportive of just about anything I try.

Chris, and Whitney, and TJ thanks for riding my ass about leaving Southwest and getting back into photography.

Chris, thanks for conning GoBig into taking a chance on a tech guy with a camera. And helping me shoot those images, and making them look so badass, and giving me a place to live, and listening to me freak out about my job on a regular basis, and and and…

Well…thank you guys.
