The Birth of Ideas
Life and Inspiration
Recently after viewing a photo exhibit in Los Angeles I walked out and noticed a guy walking down the street with a powerful but simple t-shirt. As I walked behind him the message on his white t-shirt spoke loudly to me and inpired the vision in this image. The t-shirt was simply a white shirt with a red cirlce in the middle, right away I knew it was in reference to Japans earthquake and tsunami.
Inspiration usually comes quickly and can be overlooked and if you don't act right away you can loose wonderful ideas that may become great works of art or photography. When I see things that catch my eye, or inspire me in some way, I try to write them down or act right away on them. If we hesitate or put ideas off until later we can easily talk ourselves out of doing something that may become of best work. Today look for the things that move you and commit to using that inspiration to create great images
Always Dream Big!

Comments
Too many typos and speling (sic) mistakes to make this article easy to read and understand. First sign was "Idea's". Misuse of the apostrophe is probably the most common mistake in written English.
And then he tells us how to 'photography' celebrities. Obviously the reason clients call on Matthew time and time again is neither his writing nor proofreading ability.
Not to denigrate your photography, Matthew, but if you're going to launch into writing about it please learn to write.
