Street Photo Legend Matt Weber -- Walkie Talkie Ep. 26 

always love these and finding new photographers with some crazy and iconic photos, happy to add Matt to the long list of people Paulie has shown me!

Matt's work is underrated. His pictures still hold that heavy nostalgic photojournalistic look without being pretentious. Love how humble he is, real OG

Matt undersells himself, a true legend of the street. The 911 photo is probably one of the most memorable shots of the past 30 years.

Matt's astonishing photography has become an essential documentation of New York over the last 30+ years. It's so great to hear him talk about his work and his insights are fascinating.

The part where Matt said "all you really hope for is to be in the conversation" (10:23). That part hit home for me AND I think Matt should be in those conversations. Please don't sleep on the Harlem work you captured in the 80's I would love to see them.

When you think these videos can't get any better... Matt going through his own book and talking about the photos has to be one of the most special moments in the series. At least it felt like that to me. Amazing work Paulie

Nothing better than Matt’s story … from cab-ing the streets of NYC to documenting NYC. Power to the old school NYC photographers & thanks Matt for all the magical images you created and shared! ✌️ from a fellow older (64 years) street photographer. THANKS Paulie 📸

The time and attention to the craft over time is an inspiration

Watching your walkie talkies especially with legends like Matt, Reuben, and Melissa has given me so much inspiration. As a young photographer it's the first time I've truly listened to the philosophy of photography, the importance of looking inwards to capture what's outward. Never stop making these videos.

love these videos man! keep up the good work

really loving these videos. keep up the good work!

Always look forward to these. Always left Inspired and driven. Fantastic interview 🤘🏼

That 9/11 shot is top tier.. All of his work is crazy! Awesome guy

Since day one of finding matt webers work I have loved the drama and the comedy. This is a really great short and partner piece to the Coney island documentary.

I think this might be my favourite walkie talkie, so much experience distilled into so few words so well

Love this !!! I love this channel and it never fails to inspire and educate!! Matt Weber is so humble His shots and style are amazing you can tell he put in the time and he is not just looking for a picture that looks like a street shot that someone else has taken but he is actually looking for shots that story life , Im buying his book so I’m not saying this just win the contest , I’m so happy he is sharing with the world and not just archiving this important work !!

Thanks for putting people in a position to speak up on their experience with photography. Everyone's outlooks have been super insightful. I love hearing from the folks who have been at it for decades just as much as the new faces, because they all deserve to be heard. This series has been clutch on weeks where I've been stagnant.

Awesome series, love these.

I love how he's so open to talking about everything from his experiences.
