He has work on photo projects internationally in Haiti, Cuba, India and Uganda. Matt previously featured a portrait series on PoP called “Tough”, archived entries can be found here. Disposition is his current portrait series. He writes:
“A person’s disposition is one’s personal temperament, or according to Webster, one’s prevailing tendency, mood, or inclination. I am interested in how each person I photograph copes with life in DC at the end of the decade, the year 2009. I hope to reveal each individual’s disposition in this series of portraits. This week features portraits from H Street, NE.”

I agree with Tina. Great portraits! Whenever I look at them, I always think about how much information we (as humans) pull from an image of another person. We make assumptions, guesses about that person’s life and personality. But I find we’re usually utterly wrong! But it depends. And that’s why I like this series.

I’m liking the one of the biker chick at the top. How’d you get her to take off her top?

He has shot the exact same style since the TOUGH series. Use a new filter or lens or anything, come on…Pennywise was right.

The topless girl pic was taken at the H St. festival. She was modeling for worst tattoos, I think.

Is the first girl a stripper or something? Why is her top off in the middle of the day, near a construction zone?
