  Emz Nocedo says:

  "I have been following Alesha for awhile now, and it’s a shame that I only get to write one of these for her just now. Main reason? I can’t find the right words how to describe one of my biggest inspirations, but I’ll give it a go.
  
  Alesha is one of the most talented person I know. Her photography tells stories, an endless one. The kind of story that you would love to read over and over again, and won’t get tired of doing so. She captures the true beauty of life, and her genuine emotions exude through her works: be it joyous or sad; you get to relate and be touched. Her writing leaves me in awe; it shows how she always writes from her heart. I am also thankful on how her love for adventure has taken me to places I wish to see. And more than thankful and blessed to call her a friend.
  
  I only wish I can have a copy of her book, so I can cross it out on my bucket list:)
  
  Never ever stop taking photographs.
  
  Much love,
  Emz"

  "Wow, I don't know how to explain how much I adore Alesha & her photos.
  
  Alesha is simply beautiful. She has a beautiful heart & she has a beautiful face. Her photos are truly inspirational, I cannot explain it anymore than that.
  
  She is one of my biggest idols.
  Never give up on your dreams, Alesha"

  "I seriously cannot believe that after following your stream for so long, I have not yet written you a testimonial.
  Anyway, I am so glad that we stumbled across each other on flickr. You were always so nice with your feedback, and your work really inspired me.
  It still continues to inspire today.
  You have such drive and creativity for this art, it is no wonder you are so good at it. Your photos are all so genuine and beautiful. And even when they are simple, there is still something about them that just screams talent.
  Alesha, you truly have the eye for photography. I believe you are one of those people that can find the beauty in everything.
  I know you will go far with this. & I can't wait to see where it takes you. :)"

  "I should have written this a long time ago.
  
  Alesha, your pictures and descriptions make me feel something different. They bring me to that moment, that emotion, that time and place. You are so talented, and you deserve so much happiness in life. You're stream blows me away, every upload is more special than the other. I will always follow your stream! You are amazing!"

  "This testimonial is way overdue.
  
  Alesha, just one word: wonderful.
  
  Alesha the wonderful writer: She's amazing. I can always connect with her description, the things she write, those paragraphs make me feel alive. It makes me think. It inspires me. And I don't think that happens only to me-it happens to a ton of people out there who also fall in love with her photostream.
  
  Alesha the wonderful photographer: What can I say? I'm sure you have viewed her photostream, I'm sure you have fallen in love. My love story with her captures start with her photo entitled "So much more". Of course, the description immediately set my mind racing. Her photos are not less inspiring than the words that accompany them. Her shots are sometimes happy, other times scary, occasionally sad, always beautiful. I love them. A pool of emotions that she shares with the world perfectly, wonderfully, in a way that only she is able to do.
  
  I will save to buy your book, maybe a few years from now when I can have my own credit card. Or maybe I can beg my mom for it. You should all read her book. Reading her words is like being in an adventure, seeing the pictures satisfy the eyes. It will be more than worth it, trust me.
  
  Alesha, please never stop. I'm hoping I can follow your journey as long as I can, I'm glad I have found you on Flickr.
  
  Never stop inspiring. Never stop being YOU.
  
  
  Love,
  Celine"

  "Alesha,
  your art makes me feel your soul with every vein.
  You're capable of bringing me to places of joy, hope, imagination and creativity.
  A place that I would never want to leave.
  Your words are always honest and reflect my thoughts and emotions. Your locations and your expressive poses manage to take my breath. You often made my day with your encouraging words combined with your beautiful pictures.
  I'm glad I had the chance to get to know you - Otherwise I wouldn't have met one of the loveliest, most supportive, creative, beautiful and inspirational persons I know.
  I had the pleasure of following you through your journey of a 365
  and I can still see you improving with every photo.
  I can't wait to follow you through the rest of your journey."

  "Wowzee, thinking it's about time I do this :)
  So I've been in the flickrconnects with Alesha for a bit of time now, and through this time I can confidently say that this gal is really quite wondrous.

A gal I'm quite happy to have been connected with here on flickr!
  Happy shooting, keep in touch, HUG

  "i have never even been tempted to write one of these. there is never a stream i find where i am truly inspired and moved by every photo, but since i've added you i honestly have been. the words you write hit me so hard and i find myself reading them over and over sometimes. i feel like we're twin souls sometimes; feeling the same emotions and wanting the same experiences. you seem to have aspirations where i lack motivation, and it makes me wonder of my potential. you truly inspire me to explore, you seem to have the most insane uploads every single day. i envy your drive and admire your heart because you leave it in your captions. i love that and cherish that so much. you're amazing to me, magic really. you are so much magic."

  "I have wanted to write Alesha a testimonial for awhile now... but I was nervous, and didn't know where to begin. I stumbled across her stream before I was even attempting to be part of the flickr community and was amazed by the support she receives... and after checking up with her stream almost daily, I know why she is such a valued member here - she deserves all the love she gets and more. Her photography is so full of... soul. She takes pictures from the heart; pictures that mean something. Her 365 project is compelling to say the least. Alesha seems to put so much time and effort into her thoughts and ideas. Her writing absolutely amazes me; she is so multi-talented. Sometimes I will just sit and read over what she has written with tears in my eyes. There is so much emotion in what she does. I do not know much about her life story but I admire her so much and can tell that she is an amazing human being. She is so loving and supportive and leaves the sort of feedback that just makes your day better. I am amazed that someone with her amount of talent takes the time out of her day to visit my stream - that is what I love most, maybe. She seems so humble. I think she underestimates herself and how much she inspires others. She is such a wonderful contact to have here and I have been blessed to be able to find her! Thank you for all you have done for me without even being aware."

  "Alesha, you are truly a gem in this world. :}
  
  I check your photostream constantly, because there are always new and exciting photos up. You really have a way of capturing beauty with your camera.
  I also think you are one of the prettiest people on flickr, and that is internal and external beauty!
  Lastly, I love your positive feedback on others' photographs -
  you always have such sweet things to say to people.
  
  Never put your camera down; you have a gift, so use it!"

  "Okay so I have been meaning to do this for a while,
  so here goes!
  
  All of your photo's tell stories when you look at them, and unique stories at that. They just put my mind in awe of the adventure in them. You are honestly one of the BEST photographers I have ever seen. You have passion for this art, and you can tell you put all your heart into every single photograph you create. Your going to go far with this, I know it. Also one of the few people who I would love to work with on photoshoots, you are just amazing(:"

  "finding the beauty that surrounds her, capturing it, opening her world to you, Alesha is sensitive and delicate in her imagery and words - that is special, it makes her unique because it all comes from within and that can't be taught. she is true, she is individual and probably the sweetest person i have met on flickr. this world is so big, it is people like Alesha that makes it all feel a little closer together and more beautiful"

  "Alesha!
  Well, I've been following you for a little while now and I must say it's been a pleasure viewing your photos! I especially love your nature shots -- they're beautiful, unique, and truly inspiring! I also just read your profile info and I am pretty surprised you use a point-and-shoot; I TOTALLY thought you were using a DSLR all along! You've got a great eye for photography, girl! Keep up the incredible work. I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you in the future!"

  "I just recently dIscovered Alesha's photostream, but in this short amount of time, I have come to know her as a very happy, caring and creative person that has a love of life and showing this to the world through her photography.
  
  Her style is emotive and self aware and always originally creative. It's great to see life through an "aussie's" eye. ;-)
  
  II'm happy to have a friend in Alesha, and always enjoy seeing what will come next from her. ;-)"

  "for the one and only alesha,
  
  her pictures all tell a story about her and the adventure she went on to capture the image. her ideas are so out of the box and the locations she manages are too incredible for words. i don't think she's ever photographed something in the same spot twice. her screen name suits her very well; everything is an adventure!"

  "well, i think everybody else pretty much covered most of the things i wanted to say. as i creep through her stream, there are so many things i love. the way you capture the human condition through your lens is stunning. it's all so very natural and emotional. never forced. bravo my dear :) plus, you're so incredibly kind! like a refreshing glass on water on a summer day ;D"

  painted glass says:

  "Alesha,
  What am I supposed to say? Everyone who looks through your stream already knows that the emotion you put into each picture is stunning. That your creativity refuses to die. That your writing and photos put together create worlds of their own. They all know you are truly AMAZING."

  "Alesha! Oh gosh, what can I say that hasn't already been said? Your photography is wonderful, beautiful in its own way. Each one seems to portray the raw emotion you were feeling when you took it, right down to the tones. And I love how you incorporate your writing into them—it makes them so much more real! :) Also, you're a wonderful contact. It's not like a cold, dead person on the other end of the computer screen—getting a comment from you is like something from a friend, you're always nice and really... alive, I guess? Keep up the awesome stream! :D"

  William/Galt0719 says:

  "There is something about what Alesha does, and who she is. Somehow she takes the clear strength of character we see in her person, and then steps behind the lens and redefines what we might have thought something was, as being something entirely more. Going through her stream is bit like tugging on a ball of yarn that seems to be spun with a very unique and precious strand of thread, and that thread for me is her style. This is a place to take your time and let it filter past the immediate into the lasting impact her photos ultimately leave you with. And when she's finished something honest and compelling will stay with you."

  "Yes! I finally figured out how to do this haha sorry for taking so long.
  This is the first testimonial that I write so, it might not be that good.
  I discovered your photostream like a week ago and since then I can't stop looking at it! You have a very unique style and a different way of seeing things and you are able to show that in your pictures.
  You might be new at this, but you're just getting started and you are better than someone that has been here for a long time!
  So I admire you for doing that, keep up the good work :D"

  "Woww. All of your photos are like little pieces of artwork, even if that wasn't how you started out for them to be! I love the fact that you do it all with just a camera, it really says something about how good you are about finding the right moment to capture (and makes me feel a bit better about the fact I can't afford photoshop or a fancy DSLR... :D).
  Keep it upp, looking through your stream makes me smile."

I can't wait to see her future work, I bet they'll be outstanding.
