I actually see people and have strong urges to take their photograph. Does that make me weird? Probably so. Anyways here are some photos of my beautiful sister. Lizzie I love you to death.

March 14, 2010 - 4:25 AM - Love this session!! Simple, Clean, Creative--beautiful! I am ALWAYS photographing my sister too. And I have had to restrain myself from stopping people in a store and telling them I want to photograph them!
March 14, 2010 - 1:43 AM - oh shes so perdy!
March 13, 2010 - 10:25 PM - I always want to photograph people. Stop myself from approaching strangers on a train or street. Great work :)
March 13, 2010 - 10:07 PM - Gorgeous! I LOVE the second to last one!
March 13, 2010 - 9:17 PM - I look so moody! Oh well. Nice job, Lex. I love you <3

March 13, 2010 - 9:14 PM - STUNNING!!!!!
Photoshoot with Laura and Charlotte in Swiss Cottage, London
Photographer’s block is not fun. I don’t know what it is, but lately I just can’t seem to find the time to do all of the shoots that I want to do, and when I find myself in the situation to take beautiful photos I just feel so uninspired. It’s just weird and very unlike me. For now I’ll blame it on the weather.
Anyways, here are some photos taken about a month ago in Swiss Cottage, London which I absolutely love. I don’t know why, but they just make my eyes happy. Thank you so much to beautiful Charlotte and Laura for modelling outside in the freezing cold, but I love the outcome so much that hopefully it was worth it :). Lots more to come soon!
P.S. If you like what you see, follow me on twitter and facebook

March 12, 2010 - 9:23 PM - I love the contrast in the last few. This post makes me miss the streets of London...

Comfort Zones
As an artist I dread the day that I’m stuck in my comfort zone. I think it’s so important to always push boundaries, throw yourself out of your comfort zone in any way that you possibly can. I believe that you grow tremendously when you’re doing things that scare you and excite you all at the same time. Everything is a learning experience, and although you can’t always see it at the time, failure helps you on your journey to success – so it’s a win-win situation :).
Anyways, this post is a promise and a reminder to myself to always push for more. Not just in photography, but in life as well.
See things differently.
Yes, I do realise that I sound like some kind of self help book, but these sorts of posts are more for myself than for anyone else. This is where I’m at right now. These are the things I’m thinking. And I want to remember them.
March 10, 2010 - 7:40 PM - You are Ferocious! I love these!!
March 4, 2010 - 4:28 AM - Love it! <3 Love how different all these edits look.
March 4, 2010 - 12:20 AM - These are so cool! I am not much of a PS buff so I would have NO clue how to do these. I agree about the comfort zone thing though. I'm trying to stay out of it too.
March 1, 2010 - 9:34 PM - you're a PS genius.
February 25, 2010 - 4:49 PM - Perfect philosophy, Alex. The variations are super cool and would be awesome printed all together into one spectacular piece.
February 25, 2010 - 1:31 AM - You are beyond talented! these are gorgeous pieces of art Alex!
February 24, 2010 - 1:27 AM - This is very "Andy Warholesk", which is sweet, and I like it :)
February 24, 2010 - 1:26 AM - Thank you for this post, Alex. You definitely speak the truth and I love it. The bottom left photo is awesome! :)
February 23, 2010 - 11:00 PM - great post!!! you are so inspiring alex!!! LOVE these photos!!!
February 23, 2010 - 8:48 AM - It's not a self book, it's a thought coming from the heart! That is important. And I thank you for it, because I know what you say. Getting out of the comfort zone, stepping out of the box, or however you want to call it, it is the best thing to do in order to evolve and keep creating. :) Love the colors in the photos!
February 23, 2010 - 8:01 AM - I love this post. Words and photos!!
February 23, 2010 - 5:38 AM - it's all about how the creative juice flows! And you got it baby! (O:
February 23, 2010 - 2:37 AM - Very true :) Lovely work on the photos :)
February 22, 2010 - 8:50 PM - you might sound like a self help book, but I love it!
February 22, 2010 - 6:42 PM - It's your blog, you're entitled. And I love it.
February 22, 2010 - 6:03 PM - Alex, I love your "self help" posts the most (although I also adore your beautiful photography). It's so important to remember and to reflect on the journey. You will be so happy years down the road when you can look back on all of this :) And your words are always inspiring to me!
February 22, 2010 - 5:57 PM - Alex, this post is wonderful(the narrative as well as the photographs). You are so talented! Keep up the good work. Hope you do some neat photo shop editing on some of the girls' photos! this is so cool. i love it. :)
February 22, 2010 - 5:44 PM - Such and inspiring post!
February 22, 2010 - 5:20 PM - Alex, Such good thoughts and fun images.....you are on the right path for growth and don't ever be afraid to push through any fear. We ALL have some doubt about our art and our place in the world but we only have one life that should be lived and shared with those who love us!
February 22, 2010 - 5:06 PM - i love how u said ''As an artist I dread the day that I’m stuck in my comfort zone.

Need a Valentine’s Gift?
February 12, 2010 - 10:05 PM - I agree with Julie, but I don't know how my babysitter would feel about a 9 hour flight to London...and back.
February 11, 2010 - 2:14 PM - WOW, With this offer it is worth flying over to London for the Valentines weekend. Sign me up! See you on Monday!!!!! :)
February 9, 2010 - 10:30 PM - Alex- I just (yes, a whole month later) noticed you posted a comment on my blog. Thank you SO much! I feel so honored :) Your photos are amazing!
February 8, 2010 - 5:13 PM - If we lived on the same continent, I would sooo want my photo taken by you. Any plans to visit the States soon? We need to meet someday!
February 8, 2010 - 7:30 AM - This is a fantastic idea and I wish I could fly to London just to have it done! PS. Alex, I miss your blogging-voice in my life. My Google Reader has not seen your name in BOLD for some time... :(
February 3, 2010 - 1:10 PM - I would, but I'm sure I get it for free :) <3
