. Leverette began his photography career in Florida in 1997. In 2006 he opened The Monkey Lab (sometimes rendered stylistically as themonkeylab), serving as its art director and creative consultant. Since 2009, he has been heavily involved in the northern Colorado music scene in both capacities. Leverette's work revolves around identity, specifically his own, claiming he "examines the notion of selfhood and identity within the process of mediation." Much of his recent work examines the archiving of everyday life. From September 22nd, 2013 - September 22nd, 2014, he took fifty-five still photographs a day in a project called ''The Fifty Five''. Those same years between July and July he recorded a small amount of footage daily. The journal resulted in the experimental feature ''Capers in Dry Brine''. One of his other experimental features, ''All This Useless Beauty'', is an exploration in how we remember.
