Several years ago, Matt Bamberg decided to submit his photography for the articles he was writing while working for the alternative paper, the "Desert Post Weekly." His writing had focused on popular culture--essays about topics from the Santa Cruz, California surf culture to the mid-century modern architecture revival around the world. Curious by light striking his lens, direct and bold or soft and willowy and the sounds (especially of the shutter opening and closing) he struck a relationship first to film then, like so many, to the digital camera’s sensor. Aside from writing about f-stops, shutter speeds and the fabulous job the digital camera manufactures have done that permit photographers to take almost noiseless pictures in the dark at high ISO Speeds, Matt has written content and provided photographs for articles on America Online and the Weather Channel.
