just checked out some college photographer of the year competition stuff to see how my former classmates were holding up. apparently, my class still fucking sucks something horrible. no surprise there. but the class after mine has one of the most talented people i've ever seen. his name is matt eich and i think he's one of my new favorite photographers. won all sorts of ridiculous awards. basically the best photographer of his age in the country. maybe along with another kid who is a freshman this year named pete kiehart. anyway.... that guy is ridiculously good. must take pictures every second of his life. like... I could've taken maybe 19 out of every 20 pictures he takes if not more... but there are a few that completely blow my mind. it seriously makes me want to try just to have maybe one that is THAT good. or something.
