Hello.
My name is Alexis. My brothers call me “Alex” or simply use my middle name,
“Winston” just to make me mad. I am a student, receptionist at a hair salon, and photographer, currently based
in Boston, Massachusetts. I was raised all over the United States while my Dad was a Marine. My mom is my best friend. I drink hot tea as if it were water.
Although I am an artist of all mediums, photography is my life-long love. From
pinholes to darkroom printing, inkings and bromoil printing, I find no better
way to make life out of my memories.
If
I learned anything growing up, it is three main things: integrity, the importance
of family, and that anything without Christ is nothing. Being a photographer is
truly a blessing, because it is a place where all of my greatest loves meet:
art as life’s mirror of time, ideas, and beauty; as well as the opportunity to
work personally with people in whom I come to know Christ.
As I am about to enter my senior year of college and leaving for study abroad in
two weeks, I find no better time than now to start blogging again. I’ve noticed
more in the past two years, that when I am not writing, it is usually because
my life does not feel stable. This is actually when I should be writing the
most!
I
love to write. It allows me to think in ways that I could never through conversation.
So here it is, a new blog, simply because I can write better than I can speak…
