The Photography of Jennilee Marigomen

Jennilee Photo
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 Issue Number Seven

Skewed MagazineSkewed 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.

BEFORE… They Were Famous?

EmDaveBradHere you see a few jackets before they were made into bags. Also visible are a few of our friends before they were made famous. On the outer edge of this rad sandwich we’ve got Dave and Brad from Vancouver garage rock band, Indian Wars. The savory centre is filled by Em of the Bad Guts Blog sporting the ‘before’ version of the below Ora Bag, also available in our online store.
