“You're probably gonna find out about it any way. So here’s a little preemptive truth telling….There’s no happy ending.”
-Anthony Bourdain.
Val Mata is a Seattle area photographer who shoots in both digital and film. I try to bring a little punk rock style to my photography, but who knows my work could just be a mess. I don’t shoot weddings, corporate shots, or any other paying gig. I shoot what I like, what I find interesting and beautiful. Ugly and bold. Sexy and intriguing. I try to go out into the world to find those little moments that I can capture in a split second. In the blink of my third eye. Like you I’m just trying to find my way in the world and make some sense of it all. Hopefully along the way I can leave something good behind. Cause I’m an addict forever chasing that one perfect shot. The perfect picture. Yet some how knowing that I’ll probably never get it, never reach it. But I’m always searching. Always looking with my 3rd Eye.
"I'm not going anywhere. I hope. It's been an adventure. We took some casualties over the years. Things got broken. Things got lost. But I wouldn't have missed it for the world." -Anthony Bourdain
