always love these and finding new photographers with some crazy and iconic photos, happy to add Matt to the long list of people Paulie has shown me!

Matt's work is underrated. His pictures still hold that heavy nostalgic photojournalistic look without being pretentious. Love how humble he is, real OG

Matt undersells himself, a true legend of the street. The 911 photo is probably one of the most memorable shots of the past 30 years.

Matt's astonishing photography has become an essential documentation of New York over the last 30+ years. It's so great to hear him talk about his work and his insights are fascinating.

The part where Matt said "all you really hope for is to be in the conversation" (10:23). That part hit home for me AND I think Matt should be in those conversations. Please don't sleep on the Harlem work you captured in the 80's I would love to see them.

When you think these videos can't get any better... Matt going through his own book and talking about the photos has to be one of the most special moments in the series. At least it felt like that to me. Amazing work Paulie

Nothing better than Matt’s story … from cab-ing the streets of NYC to documenting NYC. Power to the old school NYC photographers & thanks Matt for all the magical images you created and shared! ✌️ from a fellow older (64 years) street photographer. THANKS Paulie 📸

Watching your walkie talkies especially with legends like Matt, Reuben, and Melissa has given me so much inspiration. As a young photographer it's the first time I've truly listened to the philosophy of photography, the importance of looking inwards to capture what's outward. Never stop making these videos.

The time and attention to the craft over time is an inspiration

I love the balance between talking to older folks and the energy of younger folks. Getting back into it and transitioning from feeling young to feeling old, it's nice to be reminded of that hunger for a good roll or hunting for a good shot. But I like the feeling some of the older photographers give where they've really stewed in this a bit.

Matt has the most honest and pragmatic approach to street photography I’ve ever heard. Thanks Paulie for including him in your series.

This guy has something very down to earth about him, yet so profound. Amazing photographer, too. Thanks for sharing.

These walkie talkies are such a valuable resource for anyone pursuing photography. Very grateful that you are continuing to make these while sharing your own work as well. Cheers!

I can't express how much these videos inspire me to get out and take more photos. Incredible work

One of my favorite street photographers. Thanks for this Paulie.

to have a body of work brimming with life like matt’s is something to aspire to. thank you paulie for continuing to document other photographers and keeping true to the medium

One of the highlights of my time at Pop Photo was the day Matt walked into our office with his portfolio of street photos, mostly from his cab. It blew us away. Matt's work continues to impress!

This walkie talkie hit man. His stories and recounting of the photos were amazing. Not to mention the photos themselves. Matt has definitely cracked my personal top 5.

Excellent episode. Matt Weber truly is a gifted photographer.

How devoted Mat is after all these years is inspirational

Matt's book, 'Street Trip' is one of my all time favourite photography books, so to see him on here has been brilliant. Thank you.

Matt’s images are amazing! Everything I love about street photography!

I also have be shooting (on and off) since the mid 80’s but in the last five years when I discovered street photography, it hooked me! The streets are now my therapy.

Matt’s photos show history. Hopefully he’s able to do a photo book or something. All these photos in this video are great.

Your work is absolutely mesmerizing! The way you capture real-life moments is so powerful and emotional. That photo of a mother and child with Tower 2 on fire in the background is incredibly moving. It's a reminder of the strength and resilience of humanity. And your photo of street fights captures the raw intensity of urban life. Thank you for sharing these breathtaking moments with us. Your work deserves to be celebrated.

Great Walkie Talkie with a Legend. His images encapsulate what "Real Street Photography" is all about.

Loved this interview

I really enjoyed Matt's candid and unburdened photographic style. His photos evoke nostalgia and honesty, and don't come across as over stylized. The honesty captured in those moments is very impactful. Thank you for this episode!

I'm not in the USA but I'm delighted to be following Matt on IG and more than happy to leave (yet another) comment praising this inspirational series 🔥🔥🔥

Always get really happy when a walkie talkie is released. I tend to enjoy the older population of photographers the most who have really seen the streets change.

I love listening to photographers explain there work & point out things you would have otherwise missed amazing work.

THIS is why I'm a street photographer! Excellent upload from a humble guy!… That World Trade Centre shot! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEE! 💗

"Trying to make a photo that makes me feel good." - damn I really relate to that. Thank you for another incredible Walkie Talkie!

Hi from the UK, absolutely love Matt’s photography and his honest straight talking style, very humble guy

Brilliant conversation with such an amazing and experienced guy. Refreshing to see someone shooting with something other than a Leica, proves that if you know what you are doing, you can shoot with anything

the walkie talkies been on fire. what great captures from Matt.

As someone relatively new to street photography and learning about all the nyc photographers out there these videos have been my absolute favorites.

This was one of the best walkie talkies i've seen yet wow

I’m so glad Matt exists! What a solid human. And his photography! I’m definitely getting his book

I appreciate this dude talking, had a lot of important, interesting things to say.

These Walkie Talkie with really down to earth, yet experience photographers are really a joy to listen and watch!

Matt is an inspiration. Keep walking, keep looking, keep photographing I like his simple approach.

Love this channel. That 911 photo is something else. What a slice of life!

I just wanted to say Thank You. As a beginner i watch your videos and learn so much that it would take me decades to do without them. Keep doing your thing, you inspire others and thats a powerful thing.

Great Episode, that photo in his books of the lady in the park with her kid and stroller and building burning is amazing!

Incredible photos! I can't wait to look back at 30 years of my photography, I've definitely seen growth, but to see someone doing it since the 60s is nuts. The dude has so many historical moments from the 80s on

Been following Matt for a long time! Theres just something in his photos that ugh I can’t explain. One of my faves for sure.

Wow! You don't get to hear from many people who have been photographing for so long, really cool to see his perspective on things. His philosophy definitely helps to take a lot of pressure off going out every day

Listening to these veteran photographers is always interesting. They've seen the craft go in all sorts of directions, and their work/mission has remained the same.

Mahalo for these videos, Paulie! Being from Hawaii, it gets a little difficult at times to have this mindset that Matt talks about where you never know what will happen, but having a camera and being ready to snap if something does happen, makes all the difference and you can capture something that may never happen again. It’s easy to make the excuse that I’ve lived here my whole life so I’ve seen everything, and not just wait for an opportunity to be in NY to get out on the streets. Matt’s diverse body of work that spans decades is truly inspiring. Thanks again for these videos man! They’ve truly been giving the photography community some gems!! Aloha 🤙🏽📸

Amazing story! I love the fact that Matt has been documenting the city for so many years in spite of the brief layoff. He's preserved so much history in his pictures.

Great to hear a real NYC guy on his method and long career. Another terrific feature Paulie.

Guys the realest, and if you find him in nyc, he’s always down to talk.

That 9/11 shot is top tier.. All of his work is crazy! Awesome guy

This interview speaks to me on so many levels. The work is astonishing and his philosophy inspiring. Thank you for doing this interview!

What a legend, its inspiring to see passion for the art of street photography like this.

I think this might be my favourite walkie talkie, so much experience distilled into so few words so well

The admiration i have for Matt is incredible. I've been following him for years and that book seems amazing!

Great video. I never heard of Matt. And now thanks to you I will follow him. I think that many photographers take photos for the passion and never realize how great their work is. It's unfortunate that many great photos will never be seen.

Man...another great video, really love this series for uncovering and introducing me to photographers who I unfortunately hadn't heard of yet. Matt's work is incredible!

You’re killing it Paulie!

Walkie Talkie simply does not miss. That's the truly amazing thing about photography, or art in general. So many different people and perspectives, almost everyone is refreshing in their own way. Thanks again Paulie!

More than the rainbow is still one of my all time fav docs. Another Paulie B banger

Enjoying Matts photography and commitment, a real inspiration.

Love the series, but this episode especially! Vets like Matt and Melissa deserve this sort of spotlight and have so much to share.

yeah, I like this guy. Series is very interesting as well, great idea.

Best street photography series on KZfaq. Very inspirational!!!

I grew up in NyC in the 80’s and it was a dangerous but magical place. It had character and wasn’t as generic as it is today. I appreciate photographers like Matt who captured an era that will never be replicated again. I definitely would love to get to know his work even more now after seeing this. Great work once again Paulie! Thanks for making the greats of street photography more accessible to everyone.

What a goddamn life. I love this series so much.

This is my first time be introduced to Matt and his work. His motivation even at his age is crazy inspiring. Thanks as usual Paulie.

Matt is the real deal, one of the best photogs working the streets here.

Very special photography! Love it!

Your photos are right there with the classics. They are singularly yours. Excellent video that allowed you to be open to the viewers.

I really enjoyed watching this episode, beautiful photos!

love your work, Matt. but more importantly, your perspective on photography and the pursuit of it. thanks Pauline for highlighting photographers from all ages, ethnicities, and styles.

Discovered your channel just few days ago and cannot stop watching, great series! cheers from Prague

Awesome Walkie Talkie Paulie. I've been following Matt's work since before 9/11. I love the grittiness of his shots. It's interesting to see how much things have changed there. I was in Manhattan in 91...

What a cool cat man. I really liked the wisdom he spread in this video, photos were phenomenal, your videos always inspire me to create art, not photos, art.

I honestly think this is the best interview you've had yet, amazing pictures and really good stories!

This guy reminds me of Hopper in retirement LOL great episode !!!

Struggling to choose "a" photo to share on social media right now... 🤪Considering a shot I took at a market in Florence. It's not a great photo, but there's a boy that has the greatest smile/face. Makes me happy ☺Thank you for this!

Love seeing these interviews, we only hear about the old greats so it’s amazing to see these photos.

I loved this walkie talkie because of how real Matt is about photography and the ups and downs. Not to mention his photos are great too. The Marine in front of the shop vs the woman in the park on 9/11 I think really show his ability and skill to both see as well as witness.

Matt is full of useful info and i love his whole attitude and washington square park too.

This is one of my favorite Walkie Talkies so far. Always exciting to find new art and artists on this channel and Matt’s work is amazing. Keep up the great work!

This was one of my favorite Walkie Talkies. Been sharing this one a lot.

Very wise and humble guy. And some remarkable work to back it up.

Thanks for showcasing so many great street photographers. Followed Matt as tadressel.

Hey there. I discovered ur channel a couple months ago and am still working my way throughout your catalogue. I want to tell you that I think this Walkie-talkie with Matt was by far the best of all the videos I have viewed on ur channel. Your audience was lucky in that, with Matt you found a subject-matter expert who was willing to share his craft with others. Thank you both.

Your walkie talkies are one of the greatest sources of inspiration for photography. Especially to a newcomer to street photography like me. Matt’s work is fantastic. Thanks for bringing him to my attention like so many other great photographers!

Such an incredible walkie talkie, Matt’s work speaks volumes and it’s a joy to get to know him a bit

Please keep this series going. I always look forward to the next episode.

I love the variety of characters in each episode of Walkie Talkie. He has so much to share. Another top noch video Pauli Thanks so much for sharing Stay safe

Best episode I've seen by far. You can see and feel that he's experienced and knows what a good photograph is, no fake shit, no BS.

I met Matt a few years ago at Photoville and he was a cool dude. He was down to chat it up with me and my daughters and was cool enough to let me take a polaroid of him. Great video on Matt and his awesome photography work!

Matt kicks ass and Paulie thanks for doing what you do !!

his photos are unbelievable

Love is the fragility/vulnerability you're willing to give to another person

Paulie is in the conversation for sure. These videos will be an archive for years, and generations of photographers to come.

Excellent. Matt's work in NYC is fantastic.
