The rumble of the busses passing, the street walkers, late-night bicyclists and quiet music from my computer has become quite comforting.  Los Angeles, love affair.

SET YOURSELF FREE.

The gust of the wind came in and we drank ourselves warm.  A night has never been so warm and alive.  Paris is alive.

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
- from A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

At some point, a photographer must release some of his artwork… This blog can only go so far.  So for my blog readers… you have first grabs… Here it is:

This photograph was taken on February 21st, 2010.  It marks the first series of limited prints that I have ever signed/numbered and sold.  All of the prints are hand-printed by myself (directly from the medium format negative) and are professionally matted.  The print is 10×10 and the matte is 16×20.

There are only 25 of these printed and Josiah is the owner of 1/25, I am holding onto 2/25,  3 and 4 are sold, but the rest of them are up for sale!  The price will gradually go up as the prints sell and the photograph becomes more “rare.”

Some examples of the limited prints below:

Please contact inquire@mediacollective.tv if you are interested in more information about purchasing a print.

I’m excited to get these out there to share with everyone.

Regards,
Matt

One of my best friends, Isabelle Ahadzadeh, was just informed that she was accepted as a sophomore to Otis College of Art and Design and will be attending this Fall! Such a monumental move for a good friend. Congratulations, Izzy.

I also announced yesterday that I’m releasing my first limited prints for sale. There are only 25 and they are priced accordingly. I’ll be posting more on the blog in a couple of days, but if you’d like to know more, sooner, shoot an e-mail to inquire@mediacollective.tv!

Josiah and I took a series of photographs on Abbot Kinney in Venice during late December.  I can’t help but to laugh every time I see this photograph pop up somewhere on the internet.  Someone forgot to take my light meter out of the frame.
