I think anyone can take a picture but not everyone can take a photograph.
Photography has changed the way i see things.
I enjoy listening to music as well as making it, be it on my guitar or drum kit.
I love skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding and i can juggle.

Sean Rogers1 says:
"I met and became good friends with Alex when he was a lowly temp at my previous job inbetween his jaunts around the world..
..After a while of him chewing my ear off about photography, i slowly started to get the bug and bought a bridge camera similar to the one he had.
Needless to say that these cameras never quenched our thirst for photography and Alex invested in his shiny new Nikon and i was soon to follow.
Alex never fails to impress me with his relentless pursuit of photography and his knowledge of the subject. He is constantly on the look-out for interesting shots and new ideas.
Although this sometimes puts me to shame when i have a "night off", i would never have progressed as much, or have pushed myself if it wasnt for the enthusiasm and talent of this awesome friend.
Thanks for passing the passion on!!"17th September, 2008
