I jumped into my thoughts about the change, or shift, I’d like to make with the blog without explaining the title.

As far back as I can remember, there has not been a time when I’ve had a positive reaction to being called Matt. I try to nip the “Matt thing” in the bud right away, hoping that it will dissuade people from thinking that as they get to know me better I somehow morph into Matt. No…not so much. As a matter of fact, being really familiar with me means you know how much I abhor being called Matt. Probably no surprise, I always refer to people by their full name unless I am told otherwise.

I won’t belabor this issue. I started this blog a couple years ago as a cathartic exercise. One of the first things I wanted to get past was being apologetic for wanting to called me by my full name. I ran with that idea for the title, but I hope to take that energy and put it into my photographic efforts and career. Please hang with me, and let’s see where this goes.
