SKATE WORLD: Local photographer Lexi Pendzich has been fascinated with skateboard culture since she was a teen, from its fashion and esthetics to its sick moves. “Skate culture is an empowering space defined by people exploring the potential of the urban domain through their sport,” she explains, “through a sense of togetherness and elevating each other.”
