Local Optimist Issue 03: Elemental. In its third issue, Local Optimist explores the elements—both seen and unseen—that build the world in which we live. It highlights a group of contemporary thinkers and makers that have mastered an art: doers who have a discerning eye when it comes to the elements: revealing them, honoring them, and wielding their power. Journey through its pages with Max Lamb, Rahill Jamalifard, Cactus Store, Megan Sanchez, Aaron Elvis Jupin, For Scale, Bailey Hunter, Dreamin’ Man, Joshua Gordon, Aysia Stieb, alongside an incredible group of contributors.
