Matt Weber shots his way through life.
Started out as a taxi driver and saw so many things on the streets that he kept saying "If only I had a camera…" A camera seemed like the only way to capture the crazy stuff which was happening almost every night.

In few days, a whole year will have passed since the day I took over dA's Street Gallery as Street Community Volunteer.
