Allison Michael Orenstein for The Wall Street Journal Lena Dunham at the HBO offices and on NYC midtown street March 21, 2012.
Seems like everyone’s going “Girls” crazy. Ahead of its premiere tonight, the HBO comedy created by 25-year-old Lena Dunham is ensconced in an echo chamber of praise and anticipation. (You know the place. It’s the zone adjacent to inevitable backlash.)
In the show, Dunham plays Hannah, a post-college New Yorker ricocheting between social drama, dismal job prospects and cringe-inducing sex.

She currently lives and works in New York City.Why are you a photographer?I'm a photographer because I love it. I really do! And it's the only thing I know how to do well. If I wasn't a photographer, I don't know what I could or would do.What catches your eye?I live in Williamsburg, and when I see someone interesting-looking at a restaurant, on the street, or on the subway I sometimes approach them and ask if I can take their portrait. I look for people with something fascinating about them. I don't know exactly what it is — something about the way they look, their face, eyes, personality, attracts me to them.
