Obviously,

Obviously, my mom was there (what with the whole anniversary and all). She hates when I take her photo and this was no exception. I see a lot of her as a kid in this shot (and the series of 11 frames I took of her in this moment).

Day 344

This shot of Tyree is a lot more realistic for his personality.
I can't believe its Day 343 on year two.

Day 277

Alt shot of grandmother laughing in stead of ...not laughing.

Day 064

Here is one of my preferred frames from hanging out with the Bedouins International peoples the other day.

Today I photographed Caleb and Laura to mark their engagement. Caleb has come a long way since we talked him into dropping out of college.

I shot some other stuff today including starting another roll of half frame. I got some great stuff off that half-frame roll that had been chillin' for a good while. Makes me excited to shoot it more.

I've got a lot of things in my head lately and I'm not sure exactly how to get them out. I'll work on that.

Day 316

this is one of the first people we encountered in the small town of Rubik, Albania.

Day 208

i have a soft spot for my grandparents. here is my grandmother again.

[ED] i received a copy of the current issue of the legendarily musical and nerdy magazine "Tape Op". if any of you reading this are music nerds you may already know about it. i'll sum it up for those outside of "the know" (as i was even in very recent history)....tape op kicks ass and its important. its highly regarded in the music field.

well, not surprising to me (now), they wrote a piece on--rather, ran an interview with--Paleo, which many of you will remember was the dude i went on tour with during his amazing feat of writing, recording, and releasing a song every day for 365 consecutive days. yes, this interview is in the current issue, but more importantly to me is that they ran one of my photos for the story and whats more they ran it HUGE. it fills a substantial portion of the two-page (center fold!) spread.

see it here: (as in, click this image)

Day 131

speaking of awesome people from seattle who have the last name phelps, here is my long time friend from college, the brilliant azurae. the kind of person who adds a million to life just by being around.

Day 122

so today is the third-of-the-way-there mark!

pretty exciting for me mostly because it means i have stuck to it for a long time...longer than anything else i've tried to do consistently in a while.

i am heading out to town tomorrow morning for a long weekend photographing in key west so updates may be more placeholders than anything. this may be a fact that goes more or less unnoticed but i figured i'd say it anyway.



anyway..most of the time i photograph jason he tries to act hard and then says he is trying to do an impression of me. what can i say, im a badass. kidding. seriously kidding.

so, much like Day 22 (today being day 122), here is jason wallis, laughing.

Day 070

[more words later]

Day 067

the long project is drawing to a close. its been a blast. Eventually i'll be able to post stuff from it.

for now here is matthew Again. deal with it!
