« I’ve always been drawn to photography as a way to uncover my preconceptions and trends in my life, and as a way to tell stories. My favorite works of art are those that invite the viewer to ask questions and make up their own stories, and that’s something I work towards, both in my landscape photography and in my other projects.
After studying design at San Jose State and film and animation at San Francisco State University, I entered the film effects industry at Tippett Studio in Berkeley in 1997. Since then I’ve been to New Zealand as an animator on the Lord of the Rings films, was an animation supervisor at Rhythm & Hues in Los Angeles, and now work at Valve Software in Seattle, WA » – Matt Logue.
” Matt Logue’s self-published photography book “Empty L.A.” leaves an Angeleno light-headed. Others might think post-apocalypse, but for residents of this traffic-choked city, his pictures of the freeways and city streets sans cars can evoke a blissful solitude — one perhaps unequaled since Henry David Thoreau gazed out on Walden Pond.
One wants to believe that somehow Logue magically caught the city during that elusive car-less moment. But such moments don’t exist, Logue says. And so, as expected, these pictures are digitally crafted.” (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/home_blog/2010/01/matt-logue-empty-la-self-published-book.html)
