My name is Matthew Sanders but you can call me Sanders, or just The Colonel. I love everything that includes creativity and art and i love do said things every second of the day. I am a photographer, cinematographer and an amateur creative that is always finding new ways to create and make in this day and age. Honestly i just want to keep doing the things i love for the rest of my life, and keep striving to learn from others. So if you see a goofy funny kid going around with a camera taking pictures of random things like a madman. That’s probably your guy Sanders.
