"And I remember going up to Roswell which is very different now - I haven't been up there in years, but it was all very wild then. Nowhere near the development that's up there now. I started going out and exploring more. I was ranging farther and farther away. Especially down to the coast. One thing about Atlanta is that it's not a real magical place. And I think you have to go outside of this city to really find these places where you get a sense of history, of something more to the land than just development." John McWilliams, 1989

"Matt has a vision which is far beyond his years as a photographer. His images of the American south have a beauty and soul to them that can only come from someone who lives and breathes this land. His body of work has a personal touch that is as amazing as it is heartfelt. He has natural talent, and I know that as he continues his pursuit of this craft, it will only grow through time. I am proud to call him a friend, and I hope that I always have a means to follow his photography."

"Matt was my first contact right after I joined. For someone just getting interested in photography he has an incredible eye for detail and has acquired a pretty amazing collection of photos. What makes him stand out is the fact that he goes to the heart of his subjects - literally. He gets up close and personal, explores the insides of abandoned buildings, and is rewarded with nice shots of, say, dirty dishes that have been in a sink for a decade or so - gems that will elude anyone who works from the outside and/or from a distance only. I also like the way Matt ties his things together in the sets he creates. Just look through his collection and let yourself be surprised!"
