I can’t believe how overconfident people can get. It’s wild the lengths to which one’s delusions will carry them on their self-created roads towards knowing everything. I love how I get wordy just trying to put a finger on why egos swell like they do. Oftentimes in the company of the people who insist on providing everyone else unsolicited advice. There’s a special kind of funny when someone is confidently incorrect. The tone is certain, the delivery is bold, and the facts are not even close. You can almost hear the mic drop right before the correction lands. This gallery celebrates those moments. No malice, just maximal confidence meeting minimal accuracy. It’s the internet’s favorite combo of bravado and facepalm.

Matt has spent over the last 8 years as both a writer and editor, working in Seattle and Brooklyn, where he is now based. He loves escaping the tirelessly fast pace of the “Mad Apple” that is NYC by taking walks and runs through parks where he’s able to catch up on the latest tea about society from the city’s ever chatty, always hungry, occasionally maniacal, pigeons. They always have a lot to say. When he’s not taking his urban nature strolls, or dutifully combing the deepest rabbit holes of the internet to find the content that’s worth sinking your mind’s teeth into, he’s likely holed up at a dark-lit dive bar with a new book and/or some friends, or just as easily he could be on the hunt for the next addition to his steadily growing plant family.

These days Matt’s caught up in trying to provide folks as many vivid glimpses into the days long since passed as he can, through fun and engaging collections of hand-picked vintage photos.
