    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.

    Power to the old school NYC photographers & thanks Matt for all the magical images you created and shared!

    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

    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.

    Your work is absolutely mesmerizing! The way you capture real-life moments is so powerful and emotional. That photo of a mother and child with Tower 2 on fire in the background is incredibly moving. It's a reminder of the strength and resilience of humanity. And your photo of street fights captures the raw intensity of urban life. Thank you for sharing these breathtaking moments with us. Your work deserves to be celebrated.
