As amateur as one can get,it s a pleasure that doesnt demand much to be able to view in here beauty ,emotions, through so many eyes and minds;for a few seconds,we re standing behind every possible cam existing,witnessing what caught his/her eyes and how this person translates it.we can get lost in that translation and miss the hidden messages behind at times,but the image remains somewhere in the back of our mind and reasurfaces at unexpected moments when recognising a similar moment,view,motion & emotion somewhere else outside of this box.i often thought that i was arrogant by even thinking i was worthy enough of commenting pics that i couldnt dream of being able to take in my lifetime;but than i realised,that we are the eyes,we are what makes photography,the good and the bad ones,a mix of voyeurism and exhibitionism,a co- dependant relation where everyone belongs,pro,amateurs..this place makes me see the world with a better eye and serves to me as an online diary of emotions and hopefully,will help me go deeper in expressing myself.
ps=i get a kick out of positive criticism, + it s the only way to improve!

    "Her tall dark silhouette emerges from the smokey hall, slowly pulling out what I think may be a loaded Luger from her long black trench coat, my moments may be numbered. A rolled up piece of fine cloth is laid in front of me, her fingers slowly open it up, diamonds scatter, all here on flickr for you to see......"

    "Not one of those from the crowd. A true talent. A great eye for photography. She speaks her own language of photography. Consequently, a true suggestion from me."

    "Alex is more than an artist, she is an architect of wonder. Her minds eye captures supernatural images which she reveals to us here. She seems to view this world through the eyes of an ancient mystic living in exile, carving divine prophecies into stone, waiting patiently for the commencement of the apocalypse."

    "I could write a book about Alex. She is the kind of artist (and woman) i admire and respect for many-many reasons. I will write some of them here.
    First of all, she has a true and honest interest for others work, she is not here for «showing off». Alex feels that she is a part of a team, she truly cares, she gives always her help and her talent to that team. She is not arrogant, she is not competitive. She remains always modest and… a sweetheart. ☺
    She is not afraid to experiment. She doesn’t care if her next photo will have a «big success», she experiments, she experiments, she experiments...
    She has an “intelligent soul”. And this is the only thing that an artist (and a human being) needs for living (and creating) happily ever after.
    Alex gives us every day lessons with her behavior. Try to be a good student. You will learn a lot of things."

    "I have been watching Alex's work for the last 6 months, and every time I think she can't create anything more beautiful, more exceptional, more raw, and more real.... she does...

    Simply put... she blows me away with her art. Alex is phenomenal, and she is getting more so day by day. AND... she is one of the sweetest people I've met here."

    "Alex is one of my favorite contacts because she has taught me an important lesson in photography – break the rules. You heard that right… break those rules and break them a lot! Take a look at her work and you’ll see it’s far from ordinary and of course in a good way. Her unconventional post processing skills are uniquely her own and I assure you that you’ll soon be scrambling to check out what new ideas she has concocted!"

    "Cuando descubrí Flickr tuve la suerte de toparme con Semimortal79 y se ha convertido en uno de mis contactos favoritos, ya que no se limita a plasmar lo que ve, sus fotografías van más allá, nos trasmiten sentimientos y emociones. Sin lugar a duda puedo decir que ha cruzado la linea que separa la fotografía convencional para convertirse en arte, para mi es todo un referente y un ejemplo a seguir, gracias por hacernos disfrutar con tus fotografías"

    "If you haven't read Alexandra's profile, go do it now and come back... *waiting*... ok, if that remotely resonates with you then you will probably love her exploration as much as i do. she is so genuine, open and creative... she makes this whole experiment fun. If there were such a thing as a "seeing eye person", and I needed one, she'd be my first choice. [Alex... I'm not equating you with a dog... *foot in mouth* (:o)]. Seriously, I am always surprised by the diversity of her vision and use of the medium to interact with the world/others in a deep yet humorous way. Now she is probably embarrassed so I will redirect you back to her stream:p"
