You may have noticed that some Wallyhood stories are graced with some extra visual pizazz (e.g., A new classic at the Boys and Girls Club, Break Out Your Dancing Shoes, Is That Jazz? Festival). That’s the been the work of Wallyhood “staff photographer” (doesn’t that sound official?) Matt Mason, of MTM Photography.

Well, we’re sad to say that Matt’s hitting the road. Turns out when he’s not snapping photos around the hood or hefting merch over at Buddhaful, he’s twisting knobs as the sound guy for the band Seether, and they’re heading back out on tour.

So, we’re sad to lose Matt to the road, although he promises to stay in touch and even help out on Wallyhood from tour, as his schedule allows. We don’t believe him for a moment.

Bon voyage, Matt, and thanks for all the pix. We’ll be here when you get back.
