    Agreed. I found this site while surfing and have it bookmarked now. My wife and I are taking a week drive from MN to come visit NC this fall, in part due to your work. Looks like a beautiful, growing city. Your stuff is amazing.

    Well, he does happen to live here, so it is a little easier to take pictures here. Check his other sites listed at the bottom of the page for other cities.

    Matt is probably the most talented photographer EVER! He rocks just like his pics!

  14. Ernest wrote:

    I agree with JC… I have seen work from several great local photographers, who do a fantastic job capturing all those things about Raleigh we tend to ignore… The things that give our city soul and character. Matt, however, has successfully combined the street-level, as well as the [little, yet dynamic] skyline we have. Not many photographers can capture the essence of Raleigh from a far distance in a way Matt does. Knowing him at a personal level I can testify that he is a VERY modest, reliable and down-to-Earth person, and I value his friendship.
