Ley and I met radomly my first semester in college. I realized I was sharing a mail box with another girl and figured I would introduce myself VIA Facebook (go figure). We kept our relationship simple, a hi and bye when we saw eachother in the dining hall and occasinal comments on eachother’s walls and photos. What really drew me to Leyla was her ability to draw, paint, and love for stensil cutouts.

Shooting Ley was loads of fun minus the death of her vintage ciggarette holder that fell two stories down as we did some shots of her on her fire escape (we tried to super glue it back together with no avail). This girl has more accessoriese, shoes, clothes, purses, and gloves I’ve ever seen. Aparrently she makes extra cash on the side by buying and selling on E-Bay.

A woman after my own heart.
