TEXARKANA MAGAZINE

E very sport has its big game: the Super Bowl, the World Series, the Masters, the Kentucky Derby, and the NBA Finals. Similarly, most jobs have that one stretch of the year where you find out what you are made of. For our photographer, Matt Cornelius, this issue is his Super Bowl. Flip through these pages and count the photo credits, and you will see what I mean. Matt shot nearly every portrait in our Industry Influencers special section, which is no small feat, given how many local business owners we feature. On top of that, he photographed our regular monthly content, our fall denim fashion feature, and this month’s cover. He knocked it out of the park. I have looked at that cover more times than I probably should admit. Some of you know Matt as the guy behind the lens at our events, but he has a whole other side to him too.

Under the name Cornelius Creations, he runs a YouTube channel where his talent and creativity get to run wild. If you have not checked it out, I would encourage you to. It will give you a whole new appreciation for what he brings to our pages every month. Here is the thing, though. I could write about the hard work of every single person on the team, and I would mean every word. I get to put my name on this page, but even that is not something I do alone. Someone edits every word I write, and most months, it’s the team giving me great ideas about what I should write. Left to my own devices, I would most likely still be staring at a blank page. The writing, the design, the sales calls, the late nights, and the last-minute changes I swear I will stop making... they handle it all with more grace than I probably deserve. The Texarkana Magazine team is the real reason this magazine lands in your hands every month looking the way it does. This issue is a good one. Gorgeous fall fashion denim, an impactful story about life after breast cancer, and the reminder that the journey does not end when treatment
