Welcome to mineral2.com, my home on the internet. My name is Matt and I am a naturalist and a photographer and much more. I graduated from Drew University in 2004 with a B.A. in Biology. Since then I have been travelling around the country working as an environmental educator.

Whether working or on my own time, I enjoy the great outdoors. I'll almost always be out on a trail climbing a mountain or looking for birds, or just exploring a habitat. I'll even go out for multi-day expeditions. I love to travel and visit different cultures and natural habitats. I spent a semester in Australia and have also been to London, Scotland, Ireland, and Belize as well as many places around the United States and Canada.

I've been into photography since just after the 9th grade. I've taken my cameras everywhere I go to document my travels. Right now, photography is just a hobby and my photographs are not officially for sale. However, should you come across one you absolutely must have hanging on your wall, I would be willing to negotiate a sale. In the mean time, please enjoy the photo galleries and the rest of this site.

*I will not be adding any new photos to the photo galleries until I get a working portfolio narrowed down. All new photographs will be available on my flickr account. The current galleries will still be available in the mean time.
