In between the restaurant openings, cultural events, trendsetters, and holidays
we tend to highlight in Cincinnati Magazine, thousands of Cincinnatians
happily live their everyday lives. We see you, too, and recruited two dozen local
photographers to follow along on your journeys over a typical 24-hour period.
Meet the artists on page 62.
