I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge; I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there.

There's nothing really interesting about me. I shoot with my mood. You'll always know how I've been feeling by the direction my Photostream takes. Sometimes it gets a little dark and nasty around here, but the clouds always part eventually.

Like I said, I'm not terribly interesting, so please get to know me though some of my favourite quotes:


"Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence.
From these contraries spring what the religious call Good & Evil. Good is the passive that obeys Reason. Evil is the active springing from Energy. Good is Heaven. Evil is Hell."
William Blake - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

"he who correctly criticizes me is my teacher, he who correctly praises me is my friend, he who flatters me is my enemy"
- Japanese proverb

"our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real."
- Hannibal Lecter

"Do you know what 'nemesis' means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me."
- Brick Top

"You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity."
- Bullet Tooth Tony

"We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want."
- Lao Tzu

"... but coach, she looked 18."
- Chris Chelios

"The only two universal elements are hydrogen and stupidity."
- Zappa's Law

"Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is your oath."
- Godfrey of Ibelin

"Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses."
- Confucius

    "Very few times in life, do you come across a person who is truly
    their authentic self. Matt ...The Ghost of a Flea, is one them.
    If you are new to his photostream...then you are in for an artistic
    treat.

    Matt has such diversity in his abilities...one shot might be a fantastic macro...the next, an edgy, dark, and controversial shot. He makes you think...and face those feelings and emotions that might make you feel uncomfortable...or make you feel joy...or sadness, or anger, and on and on... In this respect, he is a true artist!!!

    He is such a great contact, always commenting,and so very
    encouraging!!! I am so proud to call him my friend!!!

    Thanks so much Matt, for being you!!!

    Tracy....Paprika ;-)"
