Matt, your pictures are amazing of Sandy’s impact on the Waterfront. Thank you so much for your vigilant reporting.
I second that. Amazing photographer, camera, and ability to be in the right place at the right time.
Please ignore the lame/bad ones I just sent you 🙂

You do a great job, Matt. Great photos of the storm.
Dear Matt,
You are the greatest. Superb, incredible photos. Just wonderful. Thanks so much and thanks to your staff. They should be on all the networks. Thanks a million. Marge
These are the best pictures I’ve seen of the flooding. Much better than the television crew’s versions. What a strange day.
I grew up in the North End but haven’t lived their for many years. I look at it through your eyes. Thank you for the pictures.
