A chance meeting in Albuquerque

I walked into a New Mexico ad agency last week for a meeting.

Much to my surprise, I noticed that another photographer was also there too.

As if that wasn’t enough, the other photographer turned out to be a friend of mine from New York. His name is Matt Furman and he’s a quite an artist.

Actually, it wasn’t Matt “the person” who was there, it was his finished portrait on the cover of Adweek, which was the first thing I saw when I walked into the agency.

Most photographers have an indescribable way of being able to recognize the work of other camera masters that they’re friends with or someone with a unique eye.

In the case of Matt, it’s both.
