    "Matt Matt Matt!! (I repeat names when excited)
    We’re kind of 365 siblings. Both started in September 09 and determined to stick it out to the gritty end!
    He’s brilliant, clever and one of my go to guys for ideas and laughs. Always he seems to be trying something new and passing it on. Well… sometimes not. When it comes to music his taste is simply awful and I’m pretty sure he has a caffeine problem but gosh darn it he’s such a fun loveable guy we forgive him anyways. And then there’s Kate, “we love you Kate!!!”
    Most definitely a Flickr someone worth stalking
    So go stalk him already! :)"

    "ChernobylBob...

    is amazing. While some 365s are pretty, or emotional...he has so many more things going for him. He is fun, creative, clever, and out there! I love looking through his photostream because no matter what I get a smile on my face from all of the wacky ideas he comes up with. He has also grown so much throughout his 365 so far in terms of photography and processing and it is really fun to watch. He is a really nice fellow flickr member, who always has positive things to say, and continues to impress me regularly.

    cheers ChernobylBob!"

    "The absolutely best thing about Matt is his mind.You can look at any photo on his photostream and just know that there is a story behind it. His mood bursts out of the photographs and I often catch myself laughing outloud.

    Matt is an inspiration and I hope he never puts his camera down."

    Stacie was here... says:

    "Matt's style is unique. He has a sense of humor that comes through in his work unlike any I've seen. His references to popular culture go deep, and his musical taste is ever present in his work. Which is handy, because I like to keep up with what the kids are into! ;D

    When it comes to Photoshop skillz, Matt creates seamless works of pop art that seem to jump right off my computer screen!! Whether it's Matt as the Queen of Hearts, or with an eyeball in the middle of his palm, he masters the concepts with complete realism. Simply amazing. And don't even get me started about his ace facial expressions!! Hilarious!!

    I first noticed his stream on his Day 7... him falling down the stairs... and I was hooked. Day after day he is there, and most often with a chuckle to share.

    Thanks for the inspiration Matt, now get back to work! We've got 182 more days to go!!

    Much admiration,
    Stacie"

    "Matt is taking a big space in my photography landscape. I know how to appreciate the technical skills or the artistic approach of a photograph but what I like above all is creativity. There are no shortage of that stuff with Matt.

    Subjects of his pictures are so diversified, so unique and refreshing, that watching Matt's creation has become an addiction, a drug, not only for me, but also for my wife and daughter, which, just like I do, after work or after school, run to the computer to see Matt's latest creation.

    Recently, my daughter took my picture and I posted it on Flickr. You should have seen her face when I announced that Matt commented it. When I told her she did a nice shot, it was OK, having Matt complimenting her, well that was another story ( she blushed, I swear!).

    All this to say that "ChernobylBob" has a profound impact on my photography. His energy is contagious, his imagination teaches us that even the simplest things in life, can be seen in a totally different way, through the eyes of "ChernobylBob".

    Thanks for all those great images, looking forward to see the next one...

    François Meehan"
