I’m not sure if these photos are out of order or not, It may have been one of those weeks wehe I did two rides to the beach. I know there’s a racoon in the fourth one. I really like the gas station, for the shape of the awning and the apartments in the background. I know there’s cold brew, waiting for me to decant it. Edit to add: thing I forgot to talk about because no coffee when I wrote this. The feeling of bombing down market street at night, right into the heart of the city, weaving in and out of traffic. The best. (As I’ve said before, all the parts of that ride are the best). <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/out_of_order/506/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/out_of_order/506/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/out_of_order/506/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/out_of_order/506/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/out_of_order/506/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/out_of_order/506/0006.jpg’ /> </div>

been a while since I rapped at ya. I had a creative block that needed to be removed; blasted through, if nothing else. In the end, I decided the photos I was worrying over wenen’t even that great, so I just cut them and moved on. Somtimes, it’s startling to realize that even though I’ve been doing photography seriously for 15 years, I still don’t know what I’m doing. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/creative_blocks/507/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/creative_blocks/507/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/creative_blocks/507/0003.jpg’ /> </div>

Long weekend. Walking around festivals is exhausting. This was hardly simply, or hardly strictly, or something like that. A music festival that was a little bluegrass and a lot of other things: Gogol Bordello was playing, which was my main attraction. I remember being so exhausted at the end of this day that instead of going out to dinner with some friends, we cancelled on the way to dinner and went home to crash. And the last photo is sort of a ‘fuck you’ to past me, that thought going all B&W would stop the sunsets. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/two_ladies_and_a_sunset/508/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/two_ladies_and_a_sunset/508/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/two_ladies_and_a_sunset/508/0003.jpg’ /> </div>

A friend told me that I was in danger of all of my photos becoming just pictures of my commute. I mean, I’m basically there anyway. Documenting the life of a late 20’s tech worker. I’m not sure that’s all I want to be doing. So, notice those little red buttons up there in the top nav? There’s a new one for my portfolio. Click it, and let me know what you think at my email (also linked above). If you’re hiring a photographer in the bay area and like it, let me know. In case you’re wondering, no, I’m not quitting my current job; I can do both, so I’m going to, and see where it takes me. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/new_portfolio/510/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/new_portfolio/510/0002.jpg’ /> </div>
