Over here at Ora Bags’ blog headquaters (i.e. my living room), we’re big fans of Jennilee Marigomen. Jennilee lives and works in Vancouver and has been published in the likes of 01 Magazine.

The photo above is from an 01 feature of some shots Jennilee took of Michelle Pezel, who you may know as co-owner of Antisocial Skate Shop in Vancouver. Everything about this shoot is great – the natural light, the subject, the bike and, of course, the leather jackets.

Skewed Magazine, UBC’s unofficial art magazine just released issue number seven (WARNING – Link leads to large PDF, but worth the read). I particularly enjoyed Lexa Naicu’s interview with Kris Krug – a Vancouver photographer, web strategist and creative director, which starts on page 7.

On a side note, I just got side tracked for an extended period of time on Kris Krug’s site. Aside from being an Ora Bags enthusiast, I’m also interested in how new forms of media and technology are changing our social and moral norms. Turns out KK has similar interests. Now you know – I’m kind of a nerd. Check out his page for sure if you want some interesting reads.

Our friend all-around rad girl, Melissa Paget, was recently featured on Urban Outfitters’ blog. UO has dedicated a section of their site to outstanding females doing inspiring things and called it About A Girl. Mel fits into this category because of her art, her blogs (Two. Three.), her music and fashion preferences and generally awesome demeanor.
Oh. And did I mention she modeled in a recent Ora photo shoot for our upcoming campaign? Stay tuned to see how great she makes our bags look.
