Beautiful words Matt and it was lovely following the personal work you've been making. No better feeling than the excitement and hopes of what COULD be on a bag full of exposed film.

@mattdayphoto 2 года назад

One full Long Weekend bag of film. Love you, brother.

@itscroc_ 2 года назад

Honestly, I feel this on a different level. Just being alone with my camera, capturing whatever I think might be cool, is so damn therapeutic.

@mattdayphoto 2 года назад

It really is. Glad the video resonated with you.

@willysheepskin 2 года назад

Such a great video man, really excited to see how the images you've been making turn out. Hearing you describe your wandering and just observing reminded me how wonderful that aspect of photography is and the joy that interacting with the world in that unique way brings. Feel a bit like I've taken it for granted sometimes but this was a lovely reminder - also good luck with your move!

@mattdayphoto 2 года назад

I really appreciate that, brother. It's like we default the output of the pictures, whether they're published digitally or bound in a book, to be the why.

@alexander.starbuck 2 года назад

I shed a tear watching this one. Especially when the door with the measurements came up, a memento of a times gone by. All the love to you and your family and hang in there.

@vadimhsu5114 2 года назад

Matt, I don’t know you personally, but I wish I did. Your message here cuts so close to the bone, yet your wisdom from experiences - both good and bad - indeed there is a melancholy undertone, yet your honesty and peaceful acknowledgement is so full of love and very confident awareness. That is a gift, my friend - most folks these days gloss over, run away from, or form hateful rifts with uncomfortable and difficult challenges rather than deal with fears. That is the most toxic crap that faces all of us, but it’s how we start with reckoning our own character each day, that I see you wearing on your shirtsleeves, so to speak…. Ive been thru similar life issues recently myself, and your message here is both similar and different a bit from mine, but hammers a deep resonance inside of my gut. Thank you for sharing this with us; I’m guessing you have no idea how many souls you have touched in a most positive way.

@BenRipleyPhoto 2 года назад

Magic Matt, thank you. From the heart. Photography has been my therapy over the last 18 months or so (my wife got really sick but she’s on the mend now). Just going out on my own, letting my mind become fully immersed in whatever I was photographing, has really helped. And I love this ‘quiet’ kind of video, and photography. If this is the direction you’re going then I’m along for the ride. And good to hear you’re happy. Wishing you, Molly and your children the very best.

@anthonymiller8979 2 года назад

One of the best days I had in 2021 was to go back to my childhood neighborhood and make images of all my friend's houses and sharing them on Facebook with those same friends. Even though it was nearly 60 years ago we taht we all first met as 4 and 5 year old's we still stay in touch, still see each other occasionally and share memories of growing up in what we all thought was the best neighborhood in the world. Just walking those childhood streets again was so soothing for me and all the memories of the things we did and experienced back then came flooding back. Great therapy for sure. Thank yo for sharing your experience with us.

@mattdayphoto 2 года назад

That's so great to have that kind of experience! Love to hear that.

@charleswecker 2 года назад

This video shows exactly what I love about art. It's the therapy and it's the process of it. We get too obsessed with the end product sometimes, but even if your camera didn't have film in it I think we'd still get something out of the experience. Thank you for sharing this deeply personal video.

@danbaird-miller8293 2 года назад

You are leveling up into a fine artist - using the noun as well as the adjective form. The honesty in this video is pretty raw, but cathartic to see this type of emotion expressed. The shoot now, and feel each shot is so important for a lot of photographers going through really difficult times. Speaking from experience, the images you make now and the headspace you are in when you edit them may be vastly different, but I can almost guarantee that you are gonnna make some solid gems from this work. A+ video, A+

@ScreamO82 2 года назад

One of the best RU-vid videos ever. Solo (amateur) photography has been the key to get out of a troubled period back in 2006, so your words completely resonate with me. And this video just inspired me to get back out there.

@AeromaticXD 2 года назад

I’ve had some particularly rough times in these past few years with a complicated family situation, and doing photography alone has certainly helped a whole lot to try and find and make meaning out of the little in everyday life. I will forever remember this one traumatic instance, a day before my birthday in 2020, from which I snuck outside for a quick photowalk to finish a roll of ultramax off… I find I resonate with your words a lot in this video, and yes you do also HAVE to look after yourself as well - and counselling is my route personally - but yeah. Much love folks.

@thomasjacobson6229 2 года назад

I don’t comment often, and I’ve missed a lot of your recent videos, but when I do watch… and listen, I cry. Because you’re like me! Minus the wife and kids. But I always relate to your feelings, your art and your grief and struggles. Thank you for all you do. Thank you.

@ryanhelsel8164 2 года назад

I've always appreciated that with such a large reach national and internationally you continue to choose to focus your work on the spaces that are local and of personal importance. I live in North Carolina and grew up in rural NE Indiana, Chillicothe is on the route between here and there - my present and my past, my life as an adult (and father) and my childhood. It's also the point on the drive where the landscape suddenly changes from the rolling hills and mountains of Appalachia to the flat open spaces of my youth. Some of the scenes in this video - the tire tracks across a winter field - the overgrown fence rows - they just hit a specific nostalgia deep down. I spend a lot of time on my own with a camera as well - mostly walking - and I often feel like the way my brain is processing the information my eyes are seeing is dramatically different at the end of the walk than at the beginning. I do think it is true therapy. Thanks for sharing.

I know that I left a response on your Twitter feed earlier...but I just wanted you to know that I appreciate you, Matt, for your transparency and your heartfelt candor. As one who has endured divorce and job loss over the last few years, looking for ways to start up a photography and media business of some sort, I believe that I relate to you in a lot of ways. You're one of my heroes and I thank you for the inspiration to continue to move forward in my own life and my own photographic endeavors. Blessings to you, Matt.

@tonyburkhart888 2 года назад

Just as your photography is a personalized process most meaningful and unique to the photographer so it is with grieving and its associated changes. Grief is best not rationalized and certainly not rushed, but faced at a pace of your own choosing. No two people do it alike and no one can tell you when you’re finished. Your therapist can be invaluable at guiding you through the phases of grief to true healing. Don’t deny yourself any of this most valuable process. Very inspirational video! Best wishes!

@Reason-fg4ik 2 года назад

@haydencseve1567 2 года назад

I started taking film photography when I moved from a city environment to a small town at 15 surrounded by corn fields and I knew no one. I think film photography helped me meet people just to talk about film with them because they never seen it before and I’ve been taking photos for 2 years now and I have finally made enough money to go develop the film and all those photos I’ve been taking over those years I don’t even care if they are good or bad because I got a lot more out of it than just photos. I relate to the video a lot with just not even looking at the photo to feel criticism but just to look at as a memory.

@mattdayphoto 2 года назад

The memories are all that last, so those are important photos you've got. 🙏

Of all those rolls, if you pull out 1 picture, just 1, that really pulls a smile out of your face and makes you feel something special as you look at it, it was already more than worthy, besides the other positive therapeutic aspects of photography. Print and frame that picture, and remember that special moment everytime you see that picture hanging from your wall. BTW, that is my dream house, surrounded by backroads, farm lands, and countryside, trees and nature. Good to see you and know you are doing better Matt. Greetings to you and your beautiful family.

@kennethhouston4838 Год назад

Thank you for this video. I am sorry for your loss. I just lost my own mother back in June 2022. I am an only child, and my family and I live in Dallas. Home was back in California. After mom passed, I had the daunting task and responsibility of going thru all of her things and selling the home. The closing of a 48yr chapter at that address was TOUGH. Still going thru the grief daily and I know this is going to be the way it is for a long time moving forward. I feel like just getting in my truck and driving with my cameras and let me feelings and thoughts flow onto the film or digital captures. Maybe she will lend me some inspiration for creativity which I have been desparately craving for along time. God bless you and your family.

Enjoying being along with you on the drive and your life journey so far Matt. Looking forward to being along for the next part too if you choose to share it. On January 4 2021 I decided I couldn't go back to work and spent four months choosing to let therapy (and medication too) and photography and my family and friends get me back in a good place. In late September 2021 I unexpectedly lost my father to cancer. In October 2021 I waved my son off to Oxford University, a proud and sad day. In late December 2021 we moved house and boy is that stressful. It's been a helluva year but those things I mentioned earlier continue to help me deal with the difficult days. Dealing with life is like shooting film, it's one frame at a time. Keep shooting Matt.

Hey Matt, thank you for sharing your story and your thoughts. It resonated with me, cause i am in kind of a similar situation right now. Lost my dad Christmas 2021 and had some struggles personally before... long story short, i decided to let it go and do the thing i really like. So to me it is analogue photography, where i came from. And in this case especially doing "quiet" photos of just the things in my area, no hard concept, no idea behind it. Just doing photography, calming down, reflecting and learning more and more about in which direction life is heading. In my younger days i used to go skateboarding all day and that saved my life for sure. Now it´s photography thats giving me energy and freedom and fun. Keep going man!

@sminhle 2 года назад

Thank you Matt for your sharings. I have watched this video a few times and can relate to your therapeutic photography here. I have kept a journal for 10 years and in difficult times or in struggling with bottled up emotions I just write when I feel like I need to depress. Just unfiltered, raw, honest thoughts jotted down over the pages and that has been so therapeutic to me. Reading back on entries years ago, some seemed silly to me now but I know that at that time I needed that outlet, I needed that "treatment" to get better. It helps a lot and taking care of yourself (particularly mental and emotional health) is something people should do more often, regardless of the form it takes.

Thank you Matt for being vulnerable 💖 it's amazing how photography can help you express yourself and grieve. Even if the results on the end photos are not what are you expecting the whole process is the important part. Sending you love and peace through this tough times and lessons 💖✨
