  "the melancholy tune of Asleep hums through the fine grain of his photos, lulling you away into the quieter, distant and softer memories of reality most other people seem to forget exist, much less capture."

  "alex's photos bring back memories for me. they can remind me of those beautiful, sunny afternoons i spent outside, jumping rope and drawing chalk on the driveway as a kid. they can remind me of spending foggy, humid days and chilly winter nights inside, playing board games with my friends and talking about our dreams. they can remind me of my most vivid, most precious childhood memories, good and bad, happy and sad, but still equally precious nonetheless. his pictures make me feel things, remember things, and wonder about things, and that is true art at it's finest."

  Jordan Tiberio says:

  "A is for Always whips out amazing photographs
  L is for Let this be possibly the worst testimonial ever written, but I'm out of creative words to describe your work, which I LOVE... damn, I should have used "L" for "Love you work"... whatever.
  E is for Exceptional ideas that if I tried to EEEExecute, they'd fail.
  X is for nothing because nothing starts with "X"
  
  So yeah, sir Alex, your work is bomb and I love it and I'm sorry my testimonial doesn't live up to describing your insaneee creativity :)"

  "He has those kind of eyes. The ones that see things the way they should be. He is charlie from the perks of being a wallflower in a way, but so much more. He understands, and his art shows that. He has a beautiful way of seeing the world."

  "I don't understand why the hell I haven't written one of these yet.
  
  Alex has a photostream that is similar to a Venus fly trap that you don't want to escape from. It invites you in at first with its stunning beauty and then BAM, you are trapped forever gawking over how fantastic his work is."

  "I don't know how to start this off, but let's just say. Alex takes really great portraits and has a good eye for photography. He may not have an slr but he really deserves one and is just as good as he would be with one. Alex has improved tremendously since he started on here. This sounds like a report card. Haha."

  "my testimonial was way at the bottom. so, edit.
  
  hey alex,
  you're a really great kid. you're the kind of kid that narrates movies about adolescence. you know? those writers and stuff who make everything that happens sound ironic or awesome.
  
  you're wonderful, and it shows in your art. the humanism and the compassion you have for life.
  
  i miss you lots."

  ---
  edit, because one word is not enough to describe what a great photographer alex is.
  
  his photos are so real, not overly processed, and they have meaning. and yes, he has inspired me tremendously. i wish my mind was as creative as his. we go to the same school and rarely talk, but he's an interesting character and a wonderful flickr friend. his photostream is one of my favorites and i'm glad that i sorta know him, unlike most of his admirers on here.

  "I haven't written one for you yet?
  
  Alex, you are a genuine and true individual, and that's a rarity these days. It shines through your original photography. Your work is complete proof that you don't need a bunch of equipment to make brilliant photographs. I was never taking this great of pictures when I was fourteen, gah- to be honest mine sucked.. So thank you Alex with continuing on and taking pictures. You, and your wonderful personality is an inspiration to me.
  
  P.S- I swear, one day- I shall buy you a DSLR"

  "The first time I saw Alex's photostream, I was inspired.
  Alex is so full of creativity and he uses it well in his pictures. He's a fun person to talk to and is very interesting too. Every picture has their own meaning and he succeeds in telling us about it. The collaborations he did with others are also very good and impressive. He's fourteen years old, like me, and has so many great pictures. It's hard not to envy him(:
  
  I really hope that he gets into photography class next year because he'll definitely go far with his talent, he deserves it.
  So here I am, sitting in front of the computer and my mind goes,' I can't wait for Alex's new picture!'"

  "Alex is kick ass.
  i literally only just added him a few minutes ago, but i have been lurking around his stream for awhile now.
  (in a totally not creepy way.....)
  aha. off the vine leaf i heard he was jealous of me. I find that funny, cause secretly, i am jealous of him.
  :o
  
  His collabs (and all other photos) are really awesome. i love the way he sees things and he makes me laugh.
  yes, be his friend.

  "Casimms' photos are without a doubt, filled with true and pure honesty and emotion. He doesn't upload a picture just because he's trying to impress everyone, he uploads because the photo means something to him too! There need to be more kids on flickr like him!
  
  And I hope we can do a collaboration one day because I think it would be ballin!"
