Hong Kong / Cafe

Winstons coffee doubles up coffee energy boost with youthful vibe in what feels like a very compressed space around the corner from MTR station. Always on the move with each moment never dull — from the earliest thinkable hour in the morning till late evening, and with espressos progressing into Espresso Martinis along the way.

Lyon / Cafe

Photography, gallery, good coffee, good beer, good cakes, nice talks, nice people (and a few steel beams).

Brussels / Bar

Nice little bar with a pretty diverse crowd, where you can play ping pong while having a beer. Simple but lovely food to go along with your drink. The only downside is the limited beer choice.

London / Bookstore

Great selection of books and magazine with a big focus on rare. out-of-print books Japanese photography. Can sends hours in this little shop. I'd try to avoid on Market day (Saturday) if you want to have a good look as it can get a bit busy for such a small space.

Paris / Library

Books, exhibitions, magazines... art is everywhere inside.

Lyon / Shop

Distance store : fine running gear and accessories, warm welcome, sharp showcase. Amazing drywall set up.

Portland / Bar

I love stopping by the Skyline after a hike through Forest Park. They have an amazing view, a brick BBQ pit, horse shoes, ping pong, and a REAL jukebox.

Ghent / Natural Area

If you would like to go swimming when you are in the city, this is the place to be! It is a 20 minute drive from the center of the town. Set in the natural area of Deinze it features outdoor swimming and a little cafe where you can grab a drink and a bite. It is an old-fashioned place where grandmothers play cards and has flemish feel to it. The surroundings are great for walking, so get out and explore!

London / Park

A spot that I've gone to time and time again for shoots for it's amazing architecture and greenery. Place image not by me

San Francisco / Gallery

Many galleries and events and a restaurant

Antwerp / Sport Centre

A swimming pool of Olympic length, also worth a vist for the architecture of the building

Seattle / Artist

My work focuses on portraiture and intimacy between loved ones and objects. I want to show the tenderness that can be experienced in this world through selective simplicity and tiny details. With our current socio-political cliamte, I think it is important to recognize these often unnoticed moments in our daily lives, and to remember that they exist. My paintings help me move forward openly, by presenting what is good in our world. I'm also part owner of Pilgrim Paper Co. -- a paper goods company based in Seattle, where I currently live!
