Lights

<p>*LIGHTS zine is a new outlet for a variety of local and Pleasure Boat Studio talents to showcase their work providing another forum for creativity & community. Behind the name: When first coming up with the name for this collective way to publish more people and without the gambling nature of worrying about reviews and success for authors as well as a way to brand and get more widely known in Seattle and beyond I was thinking of one word possibilities starting with boat related ideas as a connection to 'Pleasure Boat': mast anchor waves skiff oar etc. Then 'lights' came to me simple as that and I liked it and stuck with it. Then I got to thinking of forms of light natural and electrical and the feeling and meanings Light can evoke; by what light is cast by which angle and direction; and what lights can show or reveal reflect or bare witness to. Lights illuminate the dark so we can see where we're going and see where we are. So take a glimpse and a ponder into what these contributors want to show you for what they may put a spotlight on in our lit up world however dark it might get sometimes.</p>
