reminiscing FLAT 425…

December 4, 2012

The official start of winter is fast approaching, so as it gets colder I like to reminisce on the summer I had. And what a summer it was… Lots of my time was spent at my friend Chad Muska’s studio called Flat 425 on Fairfax. The space brought together so many friends and so much creative energy. I really miss it. The art exhibit or rather what was a “constant work in progress” was appropriately titled Deconstructionism.

Everyone’s a PHOTOGRAPHER…

November 10, 2012

Hey! I’m Leore of The Girl Habit posting my first contribution for Photogenics Blog.

Friday the 2nd was the opening of “Everyone’s a Photographer” Exhibit at the Lomography store on Santa Monica Blvd. I threw on my vintage Van Halen tee and vintage Giorgio Armani black skirt for the evening. The exhibit features the work of my friends Chad Muska, Corey Smith, and Jason Lee Parry, along with photographers Jared Everhardt, Jeremy & Claire Weiss, Natas Kaupas, Ian Ruhter, Danny Zapalac, and Laura Austin. I always have the best time at these kinds of events. Tons of friends from the industry and lots of beer is not a bad way to spend a friday night in LA if, you ask me. Afterwards, I hit up one of my favorite bars, The Thirsty Crow in Silverlake. I would definitely recommend checking out the exhibit while it’s still around. -Leore-
