Hi.

I've wrestled crocodiles in the south, eaten 600 hot dogs in 15 minutes, defended an entire indonesian village from deadly fire ants, swallowed ice that was on fire, climbed Mt. Everest then hang glided off, swam 50 miles in 2 hours, created global warming with my personality, invented the iPhone, lived with dinosaurs, ridden elephants through new york city, adopted a pet rhino, defied gravity, created the atom bomb in my bedroom, wrote a novel about african swallows, and fought in World War II as both the Axis and Allies at the same time. I've been a child. and i'm cool. I'm twenty. I rarely ever sneeze just once.

if you want to be added, message me.

    "You're awesome, basically.
    I pretty much had a heart attack when you flickrmailed me months back telling me you liked my photos, so that can prove to you how much I love your work.
    Every single one of your photos are so crisp, and refreshing. I find myself going to your photostream to get inspiration. Also, I am jealous of you and all of your amazing things that you do in your life. Just thinking about it makes me want to choke a small sloth. Speaking of sloths, you sing very impressive songs about them. (with credit to yours truly for the lyrics, of course)
    I would not be surprised if that paragraph in your profile is true................"

    "alex alex alex.
    you are absolutely brilliant.
    i am extremely happy to have gotten to know you in these past few months.
    your mind is a fascinating, hilarious, and inspiring place.
    and i believe your photos absolutely reflect that.

    and even though you tried to push me into the sand and spat a spit ball into my face, you are still pretty cool, i guess. (it's in the genes, what can i say)

    aaand i am going to take the opportunity to let it be known to the world, alex really is a lion tamer. that occupation thing is not a joke. he tames african lions that have huge thighs and they help him fight off vicious, fluffy mongooses from albania.
    true facts.
    hurrrrr.

    :)"

    "alex rocks! so much freakin talent in such a small little man. [yes, it's true: let it be known that he is smaller than me.]

    seriously though, he is wonderful. tremendous skill matched with a unique style -- simplistic, but far, far from simple. alex reminds us how much beauty there is in the world, and makes ordinary moments extraordinary."

    "There's not one picture of his that I don't like. Both his self portraits and portraits in general are very captivating. And just looking at his photos from where he first started to now is so inspiring.
    lastly, his last name and my first name are ridiculously similar and that makes me like him that much more."

    "Alex,
    You've introduced me to music and art over and over again.
    I love your mind, your words, and your images and could sit here on this little page of yours for hours following all the strings you lay down for different forms of inspiration (and I do).
    You have had so much impact on me and my work in such a little time and I am eternally grateful for that.

    Thank you Alex.
    You're simply brilliant."

    And check out his 'song of the day.' You'll at least find one song suitable for you from alex's large knowing of artists and songs."

    "Alex.
    Im so surprised I didn't write one before this because I thought I did.
    Anyways, Alex's photos have some magical aspect to them that addict you to them. It makes you want to tune in for more. Along with beautifully taken photos, he is one of the nicest people you will meet.
    In addition, if you looked up hard work and creativity in the dictionary, he'd be there. Be sure to keep updated with his photos, because you can miss a golden treasure"

    "What the poop is wrong with me? How could I possibly have gone this long and not written you one of these?! (is that sentence super awkward sounding, or is that just me?)

    Well, anyways, I'm awful with words so I'll keep it short.
    In addition to have an awesome name, you've become an incredible friend that I've been able to share so much with in such a short period of time. You've heard my secrets and always manage to help me with stupid day to day problems. And even when nothing is wrong, you're always there to say "hello", "thank you" and "good bye" in random languages (in addition to the rest of a conversation) which is always entertaining.
    I love getting a glimpse into the complicated process and the hard work you put into your 365's, it blows me away. And even though your photos are seriously starting to take away a great deal of space on my computer, it's all alright. I can always use them to start selling your prints for my own gain, which sounds pretty appealing right about now.
    So I'll stop for now, and give you a quick summary in case non of the above makes sense.
    You. You are awesome. And we... We should be friends for a long time. One day I'll make it back home in socal and we will have so many ridiculously insane and bizarre and exciting adventures, our heads might explode.
    Thanks for being such an kick ass photographer and an amazing friend, you've helped me in more ways than you know."

    Edit:
    His name on here: geetarooman
    I am never sure how to pronounce it. Is it, "Get a room, man"? "Guitar oo man"? "Geet aroo man?"

    One day, I would like to know."

    "It's time to do this. I've waited too long. Man, of course your photostream is great. It's constantly evolving and changing while staying fresh and consistant. It's sublime. What I like about it most is I never know what kind of style you're going to shoot or post in. That is a skill even the best photographers sometimes don't seem to have. Great stuff."
