Greetings Earthlings,
So you've come Down to Earth to see the Earthlings I had the pleasure photographing? The music and films that I enjoy? Bet! Here, I specialize in capturing life's most precious moments through my 6 senses. The purpose is to deliver powerful visuals that tell compelling stories and evoke emotions, and practice the integrity of my favorite art forms and reminders of freedom, love and liberation- Then share them with YOU!

About Lex, me:
My passion for photography began at the age of, whatever age I was in 5th grade. My great grandmother bought me my first disposable camera, you when they were just ten bucks a piece at any CVS. This went on up until high school, last day of school photos or a field trip I had that disposable. I was including everyone in my photos, especially when I got to high school. Digital cameras came along and thats what I wanted for Christmas, Pops got me a Kodak M753 7 MP Digital and now plenty of folks from NSHS have some dope pics.
Then basketball happened, I committed half-heartedly, but after every home game, I was speaking with Jim Liske about the weight and price of a Nikon full frame, whatever he had at the time, pictures he'd taken. I told him that's what I wanted to do, he was surprised, esp after naming me The Energizer in the local paper.- But encouraged me, so here I am, getting and going somewhere with it. I signed up for journalism classes just to use a camera to practice, bought my own when I could afford it, got rejected, mistreated etc - but it's safe to say- *Celie voice* I'm Here!
On my site, I'll share old and new photos, old and new music, films etc. You will also have a chance to purchase, merch and prints. Alright- Thank you all who have supported me, encouraged me, shared my work, spoke about my work, good or bad, and loved ME enough to do it. It's appreciated! Be good to the Earth and She will be good to you!

A special thank you to the folks; Johnny Mac, Cortland Hunter, Dj Davis, My Siblings, My Rents, my SUPPORTIVE A** COUSINS!, Marie Amegah, Grandma/Papa Bobby, Ms. Maxine, and last and couldn't ever be least, Grandma Pauline Kron Atkins, and all the ancestors that guide me. *2Pac voice* You are appreciated!
Adventure time is a must in this life, as well as travel. In this link, you'll find photos of my favorite trips and places I have been and things I have done- and you can do too! This link will also discuss issues that Earthlings should be concerned about. (littering, National Parks, waste management, etc).
The camera can't ever capture how beautiful these nouns and pronouns are, truly. But one thing I will do is express on how it felt to me. Enjoy this link and respect the Earth.
The Universe will appreciate it.
A movie lover? Do you love a variety of music genres? I do. I love going to AMC/IMAX or those Marvel movie releases, 'Blank Panther', 'Sinners', 'Get Out' classic feelings of being in the theatre with other film lovers, experiencing the feels, all together! The same goes for concerts, music festivals, BTS and more. You'll find new releases on not just music, but the videos and films- blogging about, all in this link.
Experience the creativity and The Culture of fashion, from Street wear, Dapper Dans and Divas like, Designs by Shira Benson. Or just how to "put that sh*t on"- and that statement is just subjective.
