Matt Howard is a talented photographer in Kennett, MO (my home town). Matt’s day job is personal trainer so I guess he’s technically an amateur but certainly in the best sense of that word. I stumbled onto Matt’s flickr page recently and was immediately taken with his haunting (for me) images of the flat, empty fields I remember growing up. I got him on the phone for a brief (15 min) chat this afternoon during which he explained his passion for photography started with a book rather than a camera.

A very interesting interview. Matt’s photos are simply terrific and it’s a treat to hear how he goes about making them. He’s a gifted artist. I want to check out that book he mentioned, too, “Learning to See Creatively.” Thanks.
