My assignment is to get into your mind and I want to make you do something you have always dreamed of. Is everything looking a bit dark? Then these pages of paper is here to make you 100% happy and then we will obtain this happiness. In this issue of VOX, inspiration is the main theme. There´s a feature of the norwegian blogger and humourist Halvor Harsem and on p. 13 you can read about how he gets his weird and original ideas. You will also find editorials and a portrait of multitasked Nero Storm. I hope you´re comfortable and that you enjoy every part of this magazine.

The snow is finding it´s way through your new winter boots and the hat that looks so good, don´t really seem to keep the chill off your ears. The wind comes through your spring jacket that you bought way to early. Being outside seems absurd, why did you even bother stepping outside the door? The winter is here and we can´t wait for long summer nights. Still, the winter is nice.When the snow is falling and you witness a rare silent, the people around you got sparkle in their hair and when you step into a cafè, there`s a wonderful warmth and smell flowing at you. So make time for an extra cafè-visit, buy a hip, warm jacket and enjoy your time, either inside or outside. Don´t let the winterdepresions get in the way for what you usually love to do!

Going from photographing jewerly on my nightstand-table to planning photo shoots is a big step and I feel that I´ve started thinking big now.
