About matt

I first started processing my own film at school.
then I worked in a ad agency in north sydney in the darkroom.
now I process my films and printing at chris reid's blanco negro labs in sydney. thanks chris.

thanks to all my friends here in aminus3.

photography is everything to me ... although humans are essentially alone in the world, they long to be connected to others. People want to have meaning in one another's lives, but ultimately they must come to realize that they cannot depend on others for validation, and with that realization they finally acknowledge and understand that they are fundamentally alone (Yalom, 1980). The result of this revelation is anxiety in the knowledge that our validation must come from within and not from others. thank heavens for photography as an expressive form...

not all images are shown here. just a few I like personally. here is where the rest are ...
