i won.

a conversation you would have overheard last friday morning in my office.

michelle: (while opening the mail) so you guys won an addy?
matthew: WHAT!!
michelle: oh you didn't know? it says so right here.
matthew: what for? my october moon photos?
michelle: yep!

so yes. i won. i'm very excited. i won't know if it's a gold or silver until the awards gala on the 23rd of february.

later on friday afternoon i was in the back studio working on a small photoshoot for one of the county health plans when my mom and younger brother show up with a cute little cake saying "congratulations matt!" i love my family! they have been so supportive of me and my creative career through all the small paying jobs and probono work. so it totally made my day!

working on a shoot for premier shoes tonight. at this point its just a test to see if they would like to work with me and juan, but we are pretty excited about the concept. hope to have something up tomorrow here.
