I genuinely wish I had an essay to back up that title.

Hi, I'm Matt Hansen. I have a passion for visual arts, writing, music and computers. Like the rest of my peers in this course, I plan on using this blog to archive not just assignments, but any content that appeals to me, especially that which pertains to photojournalism and photography in general.

I look forward to posting more frequently and seeing what the rest of the class comes up with. I don't mean for that to sound contrived, but honestly.
