I was there last weekend scoping it out. I’d love to live by a beach. Probably make a lot more pictures that look like this.
For now, still looking.

Gotham Girls Roller Derby
Posted by Matthew Furman / NYC, On Location, Sports, Things To Do, Videos
I photographed the Gotham Girls a few months back. A mix of studio portraits and some reportage at the championship match. It hasn’t run yet, so I can’t show any of the photos here. But I did put together this little teaser video.
If you’ve never been to a Roller Derby Match, I highly recommend. It’s intense, fun, and even Chevy Chase was in attendance the night I was there.

The Last Time I Was In Wichita
Posted by Matthew Furman / Black And White, On Location, Personal Work, Stories, Travel
Was also the last time I shot film.
I was there shooting a CEO for a business magazine. I knew I’d be done early, and since I couldn’t get a flight back to NY till the next day, I decided to take along my RZ and shoot a roll or two. Fun to switch it up from the digi every once in awhile.

How To Save A Life
Posted by Matthew Furman / Blog, Brooklyn, Personal Work, Stories
This is Salvador.
He works the morning shift at the bodega that is on the ground floor of our apartment building. So every morning around 4am I hear him lift the metal gate up. I usually just go back to sleep, but a few months ago I heard it go up, and then I heard some commotion. I went into the living room and put my ear to the floor. I heard some more commotion and I thought some yelling. But wasn’t sure. I then grabbed my phone and waited to hear something else before I made the call. Just then I heard a scream. Holy Shit. Salvador was being robbed.
Long story short, 3 guys armed with guns and ski masks tied Salvador up and beat him pretty good while trying to find some $(there was none). Since I heard it happening I of course called 911 and then posted up in front of our door with the biggest knife I could find(only thing I could think of at the time). The cops got there pretty quick and all 3 robbers scattered. 2 of them jumped out of the window just a few feet from the door to our apartment. The other one tried to lift the gate and run out the front, but the cops chased him down. He eventually ratted out his 2 friends, and all 3 are now in jail.
Scary event for sure. But for Salvador it was REALLY scary. He’s convinced they were going to kill him, so he thinks I’m his guardian angel or something.
Now he’s always there to help carry that extra bag of laundry, groceries, photo gear, etc. Which is great, and really sweet of him. But it wasn’t until the other night after a long and grueling day of shooting that I realized the bond we now share. I opened the front door and there he was with a big smile and an ice cold Corona for me.
Now that’s a guardian angel.

Recap From Week In Europe
Posted by Matthew Furman / Landscape, Personal Work, Road Trip, Travel
Frankfurt, Munich, Switzerland, and Prague. I was in each of those cities last week. It was an ambitious trip, and we crammed in as much as possible. We rented a car, and I was the driver on the trip so I can now add ‘Autobahn Expert’ to my resume. And I only say expert because most of the time I was driving through one of the worst snow storms Germany has had in years. My favorites? Prague was amazing. Unlike any place I’d ever been. And Munich was a really cool city that I felt I’d like to live in. But the highlight for me was going to the top of Mt. Pilatus in Switzerland. I’ve already posted an image from that here, but I also shot some video which is what really does these breathtaking views justice. If you’re afraid of heights, perhaps you shouldn’t watch. If not, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. And turn off the HD option if it’s not playing properly.

Next Stop - Switzerland
Posted by Matthew Furman / Landscape, Road Trip, Travel
Took a gondola to the top of Mt. Pilatus today. Unreal. Once at the top, I wanted to hop on a snowboard and ride down it. Even though I didn’t have a board and probably would’ve been arrested for doing it. Just weird to take a gondola down the mountain too. Never did that before…

Europe This Week
Posted by Matthew Furman / Personal Work, Road Trip, Travel
I’m on a road trip in Europe this week. Up first, Frankfurt Germany.
Loved this cool mural inside St. Paul’s, which was destroyed in the war, but rebuilt and no longer used as a church. In 63 JFK gave a major speech here.
