About Me

Hi, my name is Alex. I am a professional photographer. I like to rock n' roll. My brain runs a mile a minute. I like studying music. I like gadgets. I have a cool dog named Grae. I have an unhealthy obsession with The Doors and The Beatles, and I am extremely addicted to guitar. I like 6x6 format. I live in Brooklyn. Anything else means nothing.
