We have reached the end of our little photographic tour of the past. I hope you enjoyed the series. In case you haven’t heard, today is my last day as a photojournalist for The Daily Progress. It has been a great year learning all about his crazy community that is Charlottesville. Before you get all […]
So, you may have noticed a slightly different look here at The Light of Day. I tinkered with the Hemingway theme over the weekend to make it more of a photoblog. I looked into several true photoblog themes, but none of them seemed nearly as nice as Hemingway. It was time I learned to tinker […]
Back to our regularly scheduled posts. This has been a test of the emergency conk-shell system.

We thought it would be brilliant to have Jen climb into the tree and have the boys discover her there. What we didn’t realize was how hard it would be to get the framing right with me holding the camera on a monopod several feat above my head while firing it with a pocket Wizard. […]
The idea was that the “boys” were going to devolve into savages after being stranded. Naturally they would have to start hunting for food. -Matt
I think it is required somewhere (page 103 to be exact) in the photographer’s handbook to have band members standing around looking inquisitively at their strange surroundings. -Matt P.S. Sorry for the bad typo in yesterday’s post.
So many moons ago a band deemed me cool enough to shoot promo photos for them. The shoot turned into a cool little production based loosely upon Lord of the Flies. Take a bunch of dudes and put them in English looking school clothes and then add lots of mud. More to follow, including, conk […]
