A Christmas Thank You

It’s usually around this time of year that everyone is thinking about gifts and presents. What will you get and, more importantly, what will you give. It got me thinking about how fortunate I am because I get something from you (the visitors of this website) all of the time – your attention. In this day, where there are literally thousands of things competing for your attention every day, giving it to me is something I’m truly grateful for. I know you’re giving me something so valuable, and it makes every post I write, every preset I prepare, and every video I create that much better because of it. I always feel like I’ve got to deliver to you, so I can return the favor. So I wanted to give a great big thank you to everyone out there who stops in from time to time to read or listen to what I have to say. You unknowingly give me a gift each time you do it. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy Holiday.

    I can’t tell you how much easier it has been to get into Lightroom because of all your tips and presets. This is by far the best way to learn and be enthusiasted to dig deeper into the available tools. Thanks Matt! 😀

    Hi Matt.
    I must say that not only are you exceptionally professional, but you are always happy, i.e. the way you convey your message and instructions are always with a smile or a short laugh (in the background of your videos).

    This makes me also happy! Thank you for always have an upbuilding spirit.

    Christmas greetings from Norway.
