Published in SI!
I finally landed a copy of the Sports Illustrated SEC Preview issue. Sports Illustrated, to me, is pretty much the pinnacle for shooting sports. Fellow sports photographer, Derick Hingle, hit me on facebook to tell me I had made the cover and a full page photo in this issue. My mind was blown. I had all but given up hope on being in SI, so I was definitely in disbelief. But it’s true. However, I was trumped by Derick himself, as he had the main image on the cover of Patrick Peterson. I’m still pumped though. I hope this leads to many more. I know this is a short post but I’m almost at a loss for words. Especially since I just found out I was also published in the Sporting News this week.

Full page! Published right next to Mark Rebilas. I never thought that’d happen.
Congratulations Matt! You’ve hit the big time and making mega-bucks just like a celeb. BTW, it your mind is going to be blown you will have to say “groovy” on the rare occasion. i.e., “Didya see my grrovy spread in Penthouse’s sports section?”
Too late to fix that typo now!
Dude, that is great! Congrats! I can’t imagine how that feels, hope you get more.
Well done Matt! Hard work pays off.
Still can’t fine this issue. I will go to Barnes and Noble today. They should (BETTER) have it.
Congratulations Matthew! I alway knew you were destined to do great things! MOM
Hey Matt, congrats on the spread and Cover! I found you through Scott Kelby’s blog and have been following since. I am fighting like heck to breakthrough in sports photography and its always good to see a reminder that hard word does indeed pay off. Congrats again.
