Stuff

The Fashion District, Toronto.

Many hobbyist photographers are frustrated visual artists: painters who can't paint. There's no shame in that; Henri Cartier-Bresson was a painter first and last. Me, I'm a frustrated writer: I'd tell stories if I had any.

When there are words in my photographs, they will always be in focus.

Thanks.

I have broken the links to hundreds and hundreds of photos, which will take a long time to repair. The workaround is to replace "photo.matthewpiers" in the link URL with "matthewpiers.smugmug". Awkward, but only temporary.

This is happening because I have revamped matthewpiers dot com. More of what I write and photograph will be going there, so check it out as well.
