Matthew Curran’s thoughts and outlook

Famous people. Just people.

I don’t even like saying just — it makes something big feel smaller than it is. But here we are. Just people.

People with a skill set, a spark, and some connections — whether their own or their family’s. “Nepo baby”? Sure. But that only goes so far unless you think you’re God’s gift (which, granted, I am — but that’s beside the point).

Really, they’re just good at what they do, and they know how to put it out there. That’s why I feel so confident in my photography these days. Because half the game is showing up, and I’m happy to be along for the ride.

Like Sabrina Carpenter — let me shoot your shows. I know you’ve got photographers and your people already, but hey, add me to the mix. I can see your vision and I’d love to capture it. Five degrees of separation, somebody knows somebody — make it happen. Maybe it blows up my socials, maybe it just lights me up more. Either way, I’m in.

And since people love to ask about height: I’m 6’2”. I like short women.

So Sabrina — let’s dance.

(David Bowie plays, lights dim, there I am.)

Edit: I’m adding Miss Dugan to my call me list, too. So, Miss Dugan, I think you’re in KC. I have a lot of family in KC. Let’s link. 🙃
