  • Self publishing a photo book is one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences I’ve ever had. Thanks to so many of you, I was finally able to make it happen. Thank you all so much for your support on this project.

    it's a cool kind of excitement to get a chance to support someone who inspires your own creative journey. Immediately pre-ordered your book after watching this video and couldn't be happier about it. Thanks for the positive, productive, and educational energy you put out - it makes a difference. Keep flowing

    Matt, you have made such a big impact on my journey of discovering the role that photography has in my life, and in better understanding the craft as not just an art but a part of who I am and how I experience the world. I can't wait to receive the book :) and thank you for being such a great inspiration to so many people.

    “It’s really hard sometimes to get things to translate from screen to print” - so true. This was 100% the biggest challenge I faced when I made a book of my work for my Dad. I found that part of the process the most arduous of them all.

    What's up with so many photographers struggling with this process (paper and the quality of the prints, etc)? Joey -L (Lawrence) had to reprint his book due to similar hangups. Are the printers trying to take advantage of photographers, or do they not understand the quality that is required?

    At my advanced age, purchasing a copy of the book would just add to the estate for my kids to sort through. They might lack the interest and inspiration. So, I think I will just drive over to your home town, borrow your copy so that I can drool through it over a cup of coffee at the local coffee shop. Then, I could return it and visit the original sites with my own camera. Here in Arizona, I have met lots of interesting and wonderful people from Ohio, peaking my curiosity.
