Matthew Loeber Photography

hello i like your portfolio...little but really beautiful...your pain are original...bye bye from italy

hello there your image just reminds me of a oil painting i saw a year or two back , i also liked the painting anyway nice image.............roger

... and I find this wonderful work of yours. Know many people will say it isn't photography, but the images are quite arresting. Congratulations and keep it coming, from a fellow Cape Cod/Islands resident.

Hi Matthew, I just discovered your portfolio and it's really beautiful, remembers me of Vincent. Thanks for sharing them with us. Cheers. Pedro

You have a very individual style - i like your folio a lot :-)

It's rare to find a very unique style whom one sticks to with determination. You have one of those. I really enjoy browsing through your pictures. I think your style is compelling and has something to bring to the world of art.

Nice portfolio, very impressionistic.

I anwsered your comments last night , but lost everything when I hit the proceed tab. Very clever you are in deed. I love stories like yours , the procedures you go through to get the results you do are all just part of the story. I found a site yesterday where most of the portfolio was on smoke images , they were fantastic. A question for you. I have been trying to upload some images into my portfolio but they keep coming back saying they only except jpeg images. I understand that and the images I am sending are jpeg images. Any idea of what could be going wrong ?

roger

Read your description of your technique on Roger Sonnenland's page. How bizarre and interesting. Good work!

Matthew, Exceptional work. You've capitalized and mastered a style that is all your own. I enjoyed hearing the process you employ. Your work has a depth that harkens back to masters gone-by. Wonderful.

Admirable work, fruit of originality and patience. Once again, your work demonstrates, with brilliance, that art and talent are independent of the tool, which is only a medium. Bye, Alx

Dear Matthew, thank you for all your benevolent comments. I was agreeably surprised by your choice of the images to comment on. I appreciated your fineness and your sensibility.

Concerning the slides, I don't know if they are the true medium, but I didn't find yet the digital projector that could replace my slide projector for about 400-500$ (Leica Pradovit projecting on screen 2m x 2m).

Your images are very difficult to say why I like them. They are destabilizing the criteria (system of subject rules) I use to evaluate a photo or a painting. The appreciation is based on an instinctive spontaneity. Bye, Alx

Love your SX-70 work..... it's beautiful! I'm a big Polaroid fan in all of it's incarnations. Was terribly disappointed when they stopped manufacturing TimeZero film. As I dabbled a bit and fell in love the process. What film I have left, I am not even sure if it will manipulate or not.... What are you going to do when you run out of film?

Matthew, what a beautiful niche you've established here. These images are like paintings, and fine ones, at that. I was delighted by the florals, having myself found those to be a rewarding and satisfying pursuit in the digital field. It was nice to get this perspective of the same kind of beauty we see in them. I'm glad I found your gallery and wish you the best in your endeavors.

one word... STYYYYYYYYYYLE

and you got a heaps of it

dear matthew

i see a portfolio with the most unique style. very imaginative and beautiful.it would be difficult to judge them between "beautiful pictures or beautiful paintings " as they qualify equally well!

best wishes rajen

Thank you for viting my page and making such positive comments. I do not think that the majority of people realise the potential and the results your art would have when printed on art paper or canvas on an ink jet printer. I was hoping that you are using the mediums that you described and you are! You obviously know a lot about this and I would like to share some information with you in the near future. Having looked at your portofolio I felt and shared your excitement about your work because you understand fully the medium we possess and you are making full use of it in a very creative and talented way. A new kind of art is emerging in the 21st century! What do you think we should call it? Many regards, Dimitris.

Wanted to thank you for commenting on my image. You have a very original and creative portfolio, I read some of the Van Gogh comparisons and thought the same when I first saw them. Very nice, and thanks again.

Nice style!

matthew, you have a very beautiful portfolio. impressionist style composition and well executed use of photoshop. i really like it! keep up the good work.

So innovative and very attractive!

What a remarkable portfolio you have. Truly different!! Some even stunning. I don't know what else to say. It was all said by the comments above....Helga

I want to thank you for taking time to view my picture. Wow, your portfolio is absultely wonderful. I am new and trying out things, You do what I want to be able to do, that is what I love. I need to learn to work with my photo shop and then I will get it. Very, Very nice job. Clystie Pruden

Man, you sure have done a great job on these images. They do indeed look like oil paintings and to my eye, resemble Van Gogh. Seeing your brush/stick strokes in the image really adds texture even to the one dimension of the computer screen. I bet in hand, they really look 3D. I hope you can still obtain the special film required for this process so you can continue with your work.

Beautiful, Kirk

Hello Matthew. Thank you for your rating in my photo. I think you have a great portfolio with the exellents shots.

in fact I did not see your galerie before I gave a rate of your last posting...and now, I'm very impressed!!!!! what a VERY NICE SENSIBILITY !!!! BRAVO Monsieur

Hello Matthew I'm not against photoshop but when I see a Time zero and a protofolio like yours I miss good old days ;-) Good work and keep posting some of your work. Bye the way do you still find time zero film? Bye bye.

Nice portfolio.

thanks for visitted my galery, very interesting works, I want to celebrate to you...

Thanks for your comment on my "Daylily" photo. I need all the encouragement I can get. Very nice portfolio.

Thanks for your comment. You have a unique and beautiful portfolio. Glad I got the chance to see it. If you get time to look at some of my other pics, would appreciate your opinion.db

Hi Matthew, thanks for your comments. I tried to find the photo that you said was like my "Plant in an oil lamp" but was not sure which one it is. I nonetheless enjoyed visiting your portfolio again and reading your bio notes. WOW! you make 50x50 canvas prints. That must be something to look at. Cheers, J.

Original, amazing

Excellent style. Love your unique technique and creative ability. I'm sure you can take this far!

Unique and exquisit!! Wonderful effects. Congratulations on being so "different" (I mean your images of course). I am also amazed that you give out your technique so freely. It took me years to figure out how to "do" my abstracts, and I am not so willing to "share" my methods. Anyway's, best wishes and thanks for your comments..............Helga

Compliments, yours are works of art. Hi from Italy

Very creative and artistic portfolio. Great work!

Regards, Peter

Matthew, those are stunning. Thanks for commenting on my "Bird of Paradise". I wouldn't have found you otherwise. I think the poppies look like something that Van Gogh would have painted. Your technique is incredible. I am chairperson for an international photo competition being held in Indianapolis Indiana this year. You should enter. Good prize money and the exhibition is in a downtown venue connected to our mall, and convention center. Also, it is just 2 blocks from the Colts dome. Go to www.callforentry.org and look at Creative Images. First round submissions are done online. Becky

I read about your thecnic work and it is very interesting. Your images are how pictures. I like it very much specially your flowers. Saludos: Gema.

Matthew ,Just saw your beautiful collection.All images are just Amazing . Great work.

Matthew, I want to thank you for critiquing my Flower on Catus. I just took a good look at your portfolio. It is great!!! I can see you look at things alot as I do. That is unusual to find someone with the same feelings towards art. I am having a real good time, I am just a bigginer and just lately trying Paint Shop Pro. I am able to try different things. That is where your art is similiar to what mine is going to be. I have only done a few pictures using this photo shop but I sure like it. Hopefully someday, I will be close to what you do. Very fine Work, I commend you. Clystie Pruden

Matthew, you are a true artist. Absolutely wonderful!! The complex process you take is unique and incredibly original. This portfolio is a 7/7 all the way, in my not so humble opinion. Congratulations! ...and thank you for your comment on my photo. I would not have discovered your gem without it. Thanks for sharing!

Why thank you :)

utterly beutiful shots

i cant believe its done by hand!

your incredible shots remind me of van gogh mixed with monet

thanx for the comment

Hi there Matthew, just stopped by for a little browse in your portfolio. Have you ever thought to have any of these images printed on to ceramic tiles? I think they would look stunning.

hey Matthew, glad you also see the possibilities of printing these lovely images on tiles. There are only two people doing sublimation printing here in New Zealand, we use them both, we are in the process of ordering everything and starting to do it ourselves. We are probably about two to three months from production. There are heaps of people doing them and the best site I know is this one, http://www.bestblanks.com/ceramictiles.html . This site will tell you everything you need to know. I am sure there would be someone near to you who would be doing this type of printing. If not we could have a few samples done for you over here and post them. The problem with us doing them is the freight cost between here and there are outrageous. Anyway give it some thought and get back to me. I am just sure this would be a lovely way to display your gorgeous images, and I would be very surprised if it did not open up a few possibilities as to marketing the same images.

Hi Matthew. Your process is quite interesting and the results are unique and pleasing. Glad I stopped by! - Jerry

Thanks for the comment!
You have a very Nice Portfolio

Hey Matthew. I haven't really have any training, (I really wish I could get training in photography) unless you can count looking things up on the internet, and the DOF of my background is sometimes done on photoshop... I Learn how to by someone explaining to me how to do that, that I talked to on the internet, People can be so kind, I'm really thankful for them. Other than that.. I haven't had training. Thanks. :) I have always enjoy art. I did draw a lot on the computer, but I have kind of stop that now and got more into photography. Yeah, it is nice to sale your work. I got a knew camera with part of the money I made ^_^

Thank you for your comment Matthew. Kind Regards John Bradley

You almost had me in tears, that is a terrible thing what has happened to your fiancee. There are some weird people in this world, one easily forgets that living out here like we do, than we here a story like yours. I am sorry this has happened to both of you. If you were here would fire up the bath on the beach, it can be a wonderful tonic at times like this. We send you both lots of positive thoughts.................roger

Hi Matthew - This portfolio is definitely very different and interesting amongst the ones I've seen on PN. Keep up your great work and great ideas. You've just proven that it only takes great imagination to create great pictures.

Thank you for the comment, and you very welcome. :) at the time I saw one of those trucks on the side of the road.. and was like... "I think that would make a cool picture" but we were driving.. and I couldn't get the picture because we were going too fast. but we stop somewheres.. and on my way out.. I saw this truck like the one I saw on the side of the road... so, I was pretty happy that happen.

Took me a moment to go through your portfolio. Sometimes I like to sit an absorb what I am seeing to appreciate them. I must say that I really like your technique that expresses your art work. If these were in frames at a store, you would make a mint. You have the technique of some of our former artists. Keep doing what your doing, I like what I see and most of all the good feeling I get from viewing your photos. Thank you for your encouragement on my portfolio. Take care and can't wait to see more!

First of all thanks for taking the time to comment on my photos. I have just reviewed your work and I fund it both beautiful and fascinating. I think that you should be called Matthew Van Gogh.Beautiful images Matthew.

I just love your portfolio! I'm always impressed when people can make a new artform out of something that is already great. Did you figure this technique out on your own or did you learn from someone? It sounds like a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing more! -Sarah

That's one hell of a technique you have there. I don't think I've seen anything like it before. Who knew polaroid film could be so versatile? I just throw away my 4x5 tests after I'm done with them. Very interesting stuff. MP.

Love your portfolio Matthew....it's like a breath of fresh air in this PS world :) Original and unique! Gr8 work.

So here I am, just surfing the Photo.net, when I tag on to yours. Totally impressive and original. Plus you shared your techniques with us. Matt, you are an Original and keep up the great work...RAY

These are all very beautiful! Thanks for the photo comment too!

portfolio, very diverse. Every image is a work of art, some even resemble Van Gogh paintings! Very original!

Best regards, Frank

Thanks for kind words left on my portfolio. I think you offer something truly unique here. Your technique has a special touch that elevates every subject you've chosen. My comments on your photos aren't empty praise, they reflect my appreciation for your gift. I'm sorry you've struggled over the past months, and I wish you and your fiancee well as she continues her recovery. I understand that "life happens" sometimes. Keep in touch.

Let me add my name to your long list of admirers...You certainly are blessed with a special gift. Your original artwork is creative, espressive, and simply amazing. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with the rest of us. I read some of your comments but am not sure what happened to your fiancee. Regardless, I wish you both well and say a little prayer for her. Greetings from the west coast of Canada, Iren

Your work is inspiring to us all and your words are no different. Thanks for the kind words and motivation. I will be working steadily to achieve your status but on another parallel (my work could not nearly resemble yours but it will be of the same quality)

Thanks for the heads up that my email didn't come through. I sent it again, maybe it'll finally work.

The general gist of it was that I'm also near Philly and I have been shooting a few places in Delaware and PA that I think would look amazing combined with your technique. Email me if your interested in a trek through the trails and I'll give you directions to them. Or we can have a photo field trip to the Brandywine. Cheers.

Thanks Matthew for your comments on my last posting, Copacabana. Your portifolio is excellent. I enjoyed all your photos but specially I like the flowers. Congratulations.

Hey Matthew, Thanks for your comment. How is your fiancee? Sorry what happen with her nose... surgery stinks, I'm going to have cosmetic surgery on my nose around November because of where I was born with a cleft lip.

Well, it's not really the reason of the money they won't let me subscribe. I haven't really asked if I could. It's just I know what the answer will be, and it would probably be "No" because they don't order/pay for things over the internet. My mom probably wouldn't care. It's mostly my dad because he doesn't trust giving out our credit card number over the internet... (I don't blame him, the Desktop computer probably has viruses on it, it acts awful, and someone could get the credit card number if we typed it in on that PC, and My laptop, I know I have viruses on it because I downloaded a few things that had viruses on it, and so I'm going to reformat my PC in a few days after I get everything saved) and Plus, if They did let me subscribe my dad would like to take a closer look at the site than he has, and I'm not too sure if I want him nosing around on the site because of some of the photos that people took that are of woman. (if you get my point, I don't believe he'll consider that "photography") I've told my mom about the photograph like that on here - she doesn't seem to mind. It's not like it's of the opposite sex. But if I subscribe with my mom's credit card my dad will still get the bill and probably still would like to look at the site more, maybe he wouldn't mind. Idk.

I love my Art classes. I took Art lessons after school last year, probably will this year too when she starts back with the classes, then I also help her teach the little kids classes later in the week. That was always fun to help the kids, I've probably learn somethings from them as well as them learning from me. I can't wait for my yearbook class, it's going to be a lot of work, I'm going to have to work during the summer on it too, but Oh well. It's better than sitting home all day with nothing to do. I'm glad you like the "Three Flowers" pictures, Daniel Barrington on PN has many collages, he gave me the idea, he has a lot of amazing photos in his portfolio.

Sorry for this comment being so long, I believe this is the longest comment I've wrote on PN. Thanks for your encouragement... I mean, I have support from my mom and dad, it's just that I feel like...They have to say they like/think a photo is good just because their family, But I've found I rather ask people that don't know me because their more likely to tell the truth than a family member or a friend. Thanks! Marla

Matthew, you hae a great portfolio of Polaroids, I tried to do this and they did not turn out very well at all. My sister lives on the on the other side of the skukill river from you, on the Main line. I have been to your charming town many times for dinner. keep posting.

Matthew, your portfolio is very exciting to me. I have just acquired a Polaroid SX-70 and I am in the process of finding some film for it. Your technique is quite simple but your artistic eye and touch make the images stand out with such emotion. I enjoy them very much. thank you -Durr

Nice Portfolio Marvellous work and a lot of personal style Regards Marina

Matthew,

You portfolio is amazing. Very very original and creative.

Your comments on my photo were great for me.

Thank you very much !

Congrats.

=]] thanks for the comment, That's why I was there at the football game last night, for the yearbook. I got to play around with the school's camera last night.... I LOVE IT! :D lol... but it was hard taking pictures w/ my camera, I had to use digital zoom and it made my photos look blocky a little bit,so that's why I blurred that picture a bit, and made the image size littler. it's harder to tell. lol.

Anyways, I have a question, How do you make your photos kind of look like that painting effect? what fliter do you use?

Oh. Okay. I'll read it Thanks! =]]

I enjoy your hand manipulated images and I admire your dedication to perfecting one method of photographic expression. The hours you have poured into mastering this technique show very clearly in your sensitive interpretation of your subjects. Although I have moved to digital, I do miss the hands on in the darkroom. I used to achieve great relaxation from hand toning B&W images with Marshal oils. I still shy away from CS2 manipulation and try to do most of my image distorting in-camera. I've been meaning to leaves this note since your art first came to my attention. I'm glad I finally got around to it. Regards Gord

Confession: when I read your description of your process, I thought, "For Pete's sake! And I'll bet he only works when the full moon occurs on the third Tuesday of the month!" Then I went through your portfolio. I'm eating crow here--your images are exquisite. This is wonderful work!

I read your bio-information. Let me congratulate you for your excellent creativity of high aesthetic appeal.I am amazed to read the procedure you adopt to achieve such beautiful results. I salute the 'simple' artist,who will leave behind a rich legacy.

Hi Matthew, Thanks for the nice comment on one of my photos. I think you're portfolio is fantastic. Very creative and beautiful images. Cheers, JL

Thanks for the comment on my photo and I did check out your treatment of the same subject (but a very different technique. Excellent job - I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the comment!

Hello Matthew,

Thank you for your recent constructive comments on my photograph "Living, Laughing, Loving - Life's A Beach". They are most encouraging and appreciated. Your comments have led me to your portfolio which is most impressive and I enjoyed it very much. Your enthusiam for your photography and your art really shines through. I am a newcomer to digital photography and while I have always enjoyed taking nice photos it has only developed into a more serious hobby since I have retired. I enjoy this site and am learning heaps from people like yourself who take the time to provide comments and encouragement. Kind regards, Neville H.

Matthew, what a wonderful portfolio. So unique and amazing. Thank you for sharing the process. I will enjoy visiting your portfolio often. Thank you for your comments on my studio work. Sherida

Your work is really artistic. Your pictures look like paintings, really amazing!. Thanks for commenting on one of my pictures. It was really encouraging after a saw your work. I've been taking pictures as an amateur for a long time, but now I'm really getting into it and would like to really learn more about the artistic part of photography. Again,thanks for your comments.

I came to your portfolio from your comment on Gordon Bowbrick's portfolio, and I didn't know what to make of it at first. Having taken some time - well spent and pleasant - it is so clear you are a fine artist and it just happens that photography is your vehicle.

Excellent portfolio, your creativity and sense of the art is sensational. Thanks for your commentaries, because it has allowed me to know and to enjoy your work. Congratulations. Vicente.

original and excellent style...very good portfolio...masterpieces all of them...congrats.

How are you my friend, is good to be back. Thought I would check out my friends portfolios to see what they have been up to. How are things going with you, hope everything has settled down for both you and your lady. I tell you what, the world has changed considerbly since I last travelled. We only went to Australia but it seemed a world away. Feels so nice to be back here at my beloved Ngaio bay...........................all the best.........roger

So glad that you left a message on my photo, "Breaking Through," because it led me back to your wonderful, creative portfolio. After reading your biography I am very impressed with your creative manipulation of Polaroid photos. It sounds like a lot of work but so much fun! Nothing like painting with chop sticks...sure beats a mouse.

Thanks for the comment. And I like your new stuff...

Marla

I'm still bowled over by your photos and am glad that the struggles of the summer haven't quelled your creative spirit too much. I see a thread of peace and beauty that runs throughout everything you produce, and this is a thread to hold onto during the hard times. Thanks for stopping by my portfolio as well. Wishing you lots of peace.

Thank you soooo much for your sweet and encouraging words on my photos. You have a amazing talent and i really enjoy your portfolio. I'm going to be back to see more!Greetings from Dallas~Gisela

Thanks for the comment Matthew, :)

love you're "paintings" !

Oh wow, the knew photos are just amazing. :) I love them. Thanks for your comment too.

Hi Matthew, your kind comment of my photo led to your amazing portfolio. Your work and originality are exceptional. Your images are like fine art but with a very organic,earthy,energetic feel. Simply outstanding. It's a pleasure to read your bio and see your site. Warmest regards. Denise

Matthew,

Thank you for your comment on my photo. What an amazing eye, collection and style you have. Keep posting, I will be back.

Thanks

Gail

Hi there, thanks for visiting and taking time writting a comment. You have a different style in photography and editing than most of people I've seen. It is unique and works very well with the objects you are choosing. What I like about it is that it expresses the object well even though it is distorted. Most of us try to bring everything in focus for crystal clear images, but you are going exactly the opposite way and with success as I can see. Thank you for sharing.

What can I say...I just love your portfolio! I keep coming back to it! It is unique and clever. Your portfolio truly stands out and is surely a treasure. Thanks you for sharing your talent and genius! Kindest regards, Iren

I saw one of your shots and thought it looked Van Gogh-esque. Then I checked your portfolio and bio. What you're doing is brilliant and refreshing! I admire the fact that you're using a technique for this medium which creates such original effects. Thanks for the really great work you do.

Are you the originator of the technique or did you take it and expand upon it?

HI MATTHEW CREATIVE PORTAFOLIO AND TO PROUD OF BEST REGARD ROCCO

Your portfolio inspires me! You have amazing talent which is reflected in yoru images. Love your work! == Cynthia Bowers

Thanks for the comment. :)

Hi Matthew: I hadn't seen your work until now, but WOW! I love your portfolio...very unique, soft, gentle, and exciting all at once.. Thanks for your input on my images...lauren partida

Mathhew you have a portfolio filled with outstanding images. My hat is off to you.

First let me say Thank you for your kind words on my photo of the Beatles.. ;) Now, Love your portfolio, it's very interesting and different. You know what you like, and it shows in your work. I will revisit. Thanks for sharing. :) Smile :)

Matthew, very interesting style!

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken

I think you're kinda pioneer in that sort of technique, and you do it very very well. I read your bio and it take plenty of time to receive an effect. I also admire your involvement. Great work. Best regards.

Dominik

Your last post are all excellent. Happy new year, and a lot of pictures for 2008!

Very painterly. Very impressionistic. Your style and the effect of the process is mesmerizing. Your work is a true innovation in art and photography. And it's clear that others in this community appreciate your contribution.

AN EXCELLENT PORTFOLIO AND FULL OF GREAT PAINING'S!!!

Every artist secretly looks to find that unique road that is his and his alone. It appears in your case that you have found it. An original and rewarding portfolio. Congratulations. By the way, I discovered your portfolio through Jeff Long, another artist I greatly admire. Regards, Jack

Amazing works of art Matthew. You have mastered a technique and made the art distinctively your own. Thank you for sharing your vision.

PS... I'm also a Philly boy, born in 68 :)

Mike

Matthew, i also have discovered your work thanks to Jeff Long. [maybe you should give him a finders fee...he can get a certain percentage of your rates :-) ]. i remember the first time i saw manipulated polaroids in an art show in New Orleans, and was blown away. i always believed that you had to manipulate the emulsions before they dried. thanks for the explanation. i have to admit, looking at the thumbnail versions of your images i first thought they were manipulated digitally, but once i looked at the larger images, there is a freshness and vitality that i have yet to see in a digital alteration. i can only imagine that your work looks even better in print! really first class work.

Matthew, there are no comments on your amazing portfolio yet! You left a simple comment "Interesting concept" on one of my images, yet I feel compelled to say the same for your entire collection so far! I can tell that they are photographs, but the impressionist result that you achieve is really nice and smooth and pleasant to look at. I'm not sure if it's something you worked at or just some built in tool you used but the images you worked with definitely benefit. Cheers!

Your works have such a rich drawn and painted feeling. Your style penetrates each work, making them easily identifiable with your name. I strive to achieve a consistency across my work ... you inspire.

Thankyou for your recent comment, you have a very intersesting technique and have achieved great results.

regards

Matthew, I put the comments on the Martha Vineyard shot when it came thru ratings. so didn't see how you do your prints until I read your comments on my folio. Matthew your technique is doubly awesome!!and chopsticks definate low-tech. Congrats on a wonderful display of patience and artistic acheivement. My anon rating stands...RAY

Hello, Matthew, you have collected here many excellent pictures - more paintings than only photos. All of them with a special look of an oil painting. I really appreciate them because when I do not take photos, I like to do some oil paintings, so your pictures are near me heart. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to meet you again on the gallery. Best regards, Milena

Matthew,

Thanks for sharing -- both your techniques and their (beautiful!) results. i like the sunflowers especially.

All the best,

Paul Coren

I have looked at your images with great interest over the past few months, and feel compelled to leave you a note regarding this exquisite collection. Your work with the Polaroid camera, and your unique technique for creating your vision is incredibly inspiring to me. All of your compositions are just superb; but it is the personal touch you affix to each image that makes them so rich and alive to me. Each of your works is truly art; and I, for one, am totally humbled by your expertise and willingness to share these beautiful images with all of us on PN. I really appreciated the detailed explanation of the process you go through for each of the images too. Good luck to you, Matthew; and I look forward to following your future postings and your career. Cheers! Chris

Matthew, wonderful colors. Orginal. Excellent work throughout. Fantastic job.

Jeff Aiello

Very interesting and unique portfolio. Thanks for sharing.
