I'm from Sri Lanka- yup that tiny island so far away from the States. I think you've heard this before, but your photos are just... amazing. I love the way you put nature and human emotions side by side... it's just ...WOW. I just also want to say, as (im)probable as it sounds, when reading your blog, I thought I was reading my autobiography. ;) If I may say so, I was one of the top students in my school too, and my parents wanted me to become a doctor. I, however, wanted to write. I've decided to take this up slowly- one step at a time.:) This August, I'm planning to leave to the UK to start uni- to study Psychology and French. I hope the subjects will give me some more insight, and help me in my writing- if there is such a thing as psychological writing. Anyways, enough about me- I just want to say I wish you the best in life, and that you are a source of constant inspiration to me-helping me to put ink onto paper. :) I sincerely wish that you'll go really far in life. Once again, best of luck with all your future plans.:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567456604195733992.post-43968605377540733202012-12-25T22:28:46.020-08:002012-12-25T22:28:46.020-08:00Hello!

I've been "brainwashed" by countless adults and even teachers. I'm nearly top of my class and I love school and learning, but schools seem to be geared only to college; if you don’t go, you fail in life. I feel as if I won't do anything beneficial in life if I instead pursue a career in art. Anyway, thank you and congrats on going against the flow to pursue your dream! :)Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258580126072295268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567456604195733992.post-6540419967553011822012-07-27T23:39:30.413-07:002012-07-27T23:39:30.413-07:00What you write here is so true.

College is so much just what we do now, regardless of it can actually help (in a dance career, college grads are often seen as too old and have a hard time getting a job). Thanks for articulating my thoughts! I love your photography, best of luck with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567456604195733992.post-37736897747824415732012-07-27T17:02:03.810-07:002012-07-27T17:02:03.810-07:00yes, i am pretty sure the road to ahead of you is ...yes, i am pretty sure the road to ahead of you is going to be way cooler than high school! your work is amazing!Christine D. | The Plumed Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316436687636569331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567456604195733992.post-80852422305761358492012-06-30T17:10:47.441-07:002012-06-30T17:10:47.441-07:00I still remember when you first started 365 on fli...I still remember when you first started 365 on flickr :)<br /><br />I've witnessed your growth as an artist and photography and I'm truly happy for you.Reahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499256430024480876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567456604195733992.post-83559597652326429352012-06-27T15:35:49.414-07:002012-06-27T15:35:49.414-07:00Hey Alex!

Loved it! From then on I think we all wanted to know what your next projects were going to be and what facts in your life give birth to such wonderful ideas and inspiration we find behind your work. I'll be glad to know much more from you in the future. Keep up such beautiful art you bring to us in every picture. Hope you visit Southamerica some day and discover the natural beauty here, too. I'll be commenting on your next posts. (I apologize for my poor english.)

I can also totally understand why you created a blog, sometimes you just want to share more than pictures and tell the stories behind them as well. In a place you can design a bit more than you could on Flickr. It's amazing and wonderful to see what you've achieved so far. I'm very happy for you and very much looking forward to see how the story goes on :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567456604195733992.post-14565744453345478492012-06-26T13:03:04.746-07:002012-06-26T13:03:04.746-07:00good luck.good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567456604195733992.post-81178109557432010982012-06-26T12:46:43.110-07:002012-06-26T12:46:43.110-07:00Love it - well read Alex - you are an inspiration ...Love it - well read Alex - you are an inspiration to many people. Without being cliched - you have adopted the American Dream - found something you love doing, as a bonus with someone you love also doing it, and have found a way to make money doing it. It is a win win life. I am buying one of Brian's prints next month and hopefully one of yours the month after :)<br />Your photography is superb - would love to try and organise an exhibition of your work in Australia for Mardi Gras - it would sell like freaking hotcakes :) Keep doing what you is doing!!Salty Popcornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384430806919017248noreply@blogger.com
