How did you find your creative voice? 

My earliest memories were making up song and dance routines with my brother. I used to watch a lot of I Love Lucy and The Carroll Burnett Show and had a lot of fun dancing, acting, playing musical instruments, and singing from as early as 5. I was the kind of kid, and still am the kind of person, to try and love a lot of different things. I always loved bringing a lot of people together. 

What is something most people don’t know about you? 

Luna’s a nickname given to me when I was a teenager. My ‘government’ name is actually Lauren. 

What do you do when you feel uninspired? 

If something feels forced, or if I get too rigidly set on ‘this is who I am’ or ‘this is what I do’ — I feel blocked. That’s not for me. Since the beginning of the year, I’ve become an app creator, an investigative reporter, a ‘sexpert’ of sorts, and am now writing a book and launching a comedy festival in August. I think my ability to dabble with so many things is due to my ability to stay open and flexible! 

“These urban crop circles are the result of a candid burnout, where the homie came through on a whim and killed it. Everyone was hypnotized. Needless to say, this was followed by the cops showing up shortly thereafter. The officer pulled up, rolled the window down and said, ‘What the hell is going on here?! It looks like a goddamn spaceship landed on the block.’”

thinking about getting a dslr soon and getting back into photography...film is slowly dying out and darkrooms are becoming scarce. so to motivate myself into spending a few hundred dollars on a new camera ive been looking at the work of some of my favorites and discovering other interesting photographers. lemme share a few with you...
