Profile
City: Cottage Grove
Country: United States
Matt is a travel and wedding photographer based out of Oregon. He’s spent time as an activist, a journalist, a photojournalist and a grab-it-when-you-can traveler. He is an award-winning member of the WPJA (Wedding PhotoJournalist Association) and likes to bring his candid style to all his weddings.
He lived in Japan for awhile and still loves to return as often as he can. He’s been lucky enough to have visited over 35 countries on 4 continents in the last 20 years, taking his camera with him everywhere he went.
Matt recommends everyone read Shantaram at least once, bungy jump at least three times and see as much of the world as you can (even better if someone else is paying for it!).

That feeling of Anything is Possible
rise up out of the everyday and get clear of the blinders of habit, and stand naked to existence, to the moment of choice, vast, dark, windy.
Life in Japan
and went everywhere I could, all over the main island of Honshu (which is home to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Nagano, to name a few) to the islands of Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku.
