About Me

.... , !

"The story of life is quicker then the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, goodbye." -Jimi Hendrix.. ".. ".. ".. " ------ photos by sasha c. funk ------I am simply Alex... Born and raised in Washington DC, currently living in Baltimore MD where I attend the Maryland Institute College of Art and major in Photography. I am a jack of all trades and master of a few. I am open to new things and my personal tastes and styles are ever-changing. I have a very strange sense of humor. I love to live, laugh and enjoy the world I create around me... care to join?

My Interests

**Photography ...is my life “Music ...is my oxygen *Poetry ...is my own food for thought

I'd like to meet:

Like-minded people who can teach me something new. Lovers of art and every form it can take. Free spirits like myself who live for the day and work towards a future. Philosophers, poets, photographers, painters, songwriters, spiritualists, sceptics, lovers, listeners... so on and so forth.

In Retrospect Vol. II: Addiction

"Pinstripes"

Deeply in lust with a woman that exists only in my mind, I am afraid that I have manipulated a love for the last time. It happened by accident really. A pinstriped suit, a fake mustache and a few phot...
