See, Matt Lauer Gets it

I was fortunate to have my work featured on The Today show yesterday (2/12/07). The staff and cast were very cool and I was so glad that the showed a lot of the actual work from the Sleepyurbanite.com site. We had a great conversation on the air and when the subject of the invasiveness of the photos came up Matt Lauer mentioned that he thought it made him want to “know more about” the people. And it really hit upon what my actual intention with the work is, but what I have not yet been able to fully verbalize. It really is about how stunningly interesting and cool we all are as individuals. We’re all a friggin miracle every day, so yes, that is why I’m intrigued and photographing all you fantastic people.

Thanks for all of the comments on the work. Keep em coming!
