Alexis Santi . Photographer . Writer . Publisher . No Order .

I am quite early in my career as a photographer, however, I have a great deal of enthusiasm and love for the craft. My background and training is in the world of writing. I have always been highly observant, sensitive and aware of all around me. I believe life is told in a series of single moments that tell the world around us who we are, what we stand for. I have a Masters in Fine Arts in creative writing and am an accomplished writer with numerous publications. I publish the literary journal Our Stories, the only literary journal with a humanist business model. This world of writing, to me, is one where the vision and beauty reside in our collective imaginations, the unconscious and conscious minds. I have always been highly observant, sensitive and aware of all around me. I believe life is told in a series of single moments that tell the world around us who we are, what we stand for.I tell you in words what to see, to hear, to smell till it is a lapping lake of water, on sharp rocks, in May, before it is warm enough to wade into the lake. You are shivering but happy to be alive enough to know cold, to know that it makes you appreciate warmth. We may envision the words on the page but they do not come alive with an image outside of our imagination. I decided to start taking photographs because I wanted my friends to see the world as I saw it. Thank you.
