Also, I just now realized that Automattic (business model: Uber for not posting female-presenting nipples) is a pun on this guy’s name.

my brain keeps telling me his social media username photomatt must be a pun for matte photo paper or matting your photos for an exhibit, but something tells me Matt thinks matting your own photos is for poor people (because it’s a lot of frustrating labor) and I doubt anyone’s demanding prints of his “rich boy with an expensive Nikon” photos

matt spends his money on Leica kit, so that’s the one good thing i’ve ever heard about him

you’re right! now I’m trying to think back to which kiosk chain was active in my area growing up. I do know they’d take my dad’s awfully shot film and make even worse prints, and that feels weirdly appropriate for Matt

I really really doubt it. It’s a pun on his name.
