WOW!!!

After just viewing my great pal's newly revised website, I feel compelled to share it with you all!

I was fortunate enough to capture Mathew Ian Barnes' friendship in the last few months at Sheridan College as we both finished our studies in photography. Unfortunately we have both kept very busy and have not been able to see much of each other on a regular basis. Since I have moved from Toronto, this has been increasingly difficult.

After seeing his new work on the site for "the spot productions" (click on the above link), I have fallen in love with this dear friend all over again! Matt has this incredible and magical ability to turn virtually anything into the most beautiful image your eyes have ever rested upon. He has found a way to make the mis-judged beautiful. He brings the ugly, the unsightly, the vile, the unwanted, and the unimaginable, into the most vivid, beautiful and sureal light. He simple makes the most stunning images I have ever seen.

Matt is a man who doesn't take no for an answer, and will push through whatever he needs to, just to get the shot. He has endured many trials and has sacrificed many things just for his art. I wish my dear friend well, and sincerly hope that he can turn a nearly impossible career, into a position that he may grab the attention of the world, and provide us with gorgeous imagery of the unimaginable, the unexplainable, and the uncharacteristically bizzare!

If there is one website that you will look at this week, may it be www.thatsthespot.com

May God bless your work Mathew Barnes, may you find a way to bring happiness to the world, your loving family, and to God!
