Thee stars align and we are able to meet a local legend and amazing human being! Not only a professional photographer but also a journalist, writer, environmental and human rights activist! 

Matthew Kaplan is a local resident who dove into photography young which lead him on amazing life travels! He worked celebrities such as Bob Marley, Nick Nolte, and so many more. Matt discusses his personal favorite nature sunrise/sunset shots and how he enjoys being on the front lines, taking amazing protest stills frozen in time. Matthew captures the raw emotions, energy, and human condition perfectly in picture form during small and large protests. We even discuss his personal run in and arrest with the law during a Gary protest, which got hectic fast.
