About Matthew Pickard / Matthew Pickard

I love photography and image manipulation, and on this board I have the opportunity to flex my muscles and stay in practice and have a little fun and self-expression free from clients.

I regularly shoot with:
1. Canon Rebel dXT, 55mm - 300mm with Macro lense kit.
2. Holga 120 S.
3. Pentax K-1000, various lenses fixed 55mm - 200mm. All my film processing is done professionally. Wish I had a darkroom.
4. I also have a vintage camera collection. You can see some of them here.

Primary Imaging Software
1. Adobe Photoshop CS 2/3
2. Apple Aperture 1.5.2.

Primary Design Software
1. Adobe Illustrator CS 2/3
2. Adobe Indesign CS 2/3
3. Adobe Photoshop CS 2/3
4. Adobe Flash Studio 8
5. Adobe Dreamwear Studio 8
6. QuarkXpress

Also, I decided to start a journal/blog about design. I would really like comment on some of the projects I see here on Flikr.

I'm Male and Taken.

Testimonials

Cognitive Ambition says:
"I've no doubt that Matt's influence has been significant to my growth as a photographer, an artist, and, somewhat inadvertently, as a writer. He has taught me not only to be constructively critical of my work but also to improve upon it, using the tools available to me (including PhotoShop) no matter how overwhelming those tools may at first seem to be. Matt is one of those rare individuals who can inspire the best in others, whether or not it is his intention to do so, and for that, we can be thankful that he is a member of the Flickr community…"
