Letter from the Editor It’s 7:50 a.m. I would like to be catching up on the sleep that September insisted I lose, but I can’t because the sunrise is splitting through my blinds. And then I realized, there is a time to rest, and a time to work. A season to be provoked, and a season to prosper. This winter issue is the result and reminder of perseverance and prosperity. To be #INSPIRED one must be provoked, then persevere and prosper.  LA. NYC. TOKYO. PARIS. LONDON. ATL. MONTRIL. D.C. PITTSBURGH. SARASOTA. CINCINNATI. CHICAGO. BERLIN.  None of this would have been possible if we didn’t step up to the challenge.  I thank every artist who participated in this project, my mom who held the fort down- shipping all those disposable cameras across the world, and my dear friend Helen Koh, who jumped to my rescue when she saw me struggle. Stick with us. We’re onto something, and we can’t be stopped.  — Isis Nicole N 03
