Volume 28 Issue 3
In this issue, we anatomize Matt Wesson’s underground eyeball of Los Angeles, Waimea and Pipeline icon James Jones’ style mechanics, and the viscera of a road journey through West Africa. Artists Thomas Campbell and Alex Israel, water photographer Zak Noyle, and the homespun architecture of Lloyd Kahn add connective tissue.
