Leipzig / Lake

The best place in summer!

New York / Cinema

After his guitar class, I would ride the 1 train down and meet him for a movie. That was years ago. Now I continue to come, sometimes alone. It’s one thing I enjoy doing by myself: going to the movies to see independent films that are oftentimes bizarre and somewhat depressing, but I like it all the same.

Paris / Cafe

A favorite for a fast espresso. My friends run this cafe and serve coffea roasted in Paris.

Barcelona / Art

A multidisciplinary artistic space that aims to disseminate and showcase the creative work and contemporary artistic expressions of the city. In MISCELANEA, art, design and audiovisual creation converge with all kinds of independent cultural events, with the aim of always offering innovative creative proposals combined with new forms of expression.

London / Place

Not been in many years, but spent a large part of my childhood watching people row and sail back and forth. It freezes over in winter and in February 1893, Jack Selby drove a coach and four horses across the reservoir.

Bogotá / Market

Here you can find cheap and nice Crafts From Colombia.

New York / Restaurant

The oldest still-operating restaurant in New York City, still in the family of the original founders. At Christmastime, it's decorated to the nines. Go with a big group: portions are large and the wine flows liberally. Look for the little buttons on the walls: in the old days, the mafia would hang out in the back room, and if diners saw the cops come in, they'd press the buttons so the mafia guys could run out the back.

Los Angeles / Museum

Right by my apartment, I can't help but come here often. It's situated right around the historic La Brea Tar Pits. One needs to spend an entire day here. Also love their magazine/book store.

Madrid / Restaurant

One of the oldest Italian restaurants in Madrid. The food is great and has a cosy atmosphere with lovely interior. Opposite the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Frankfurt / Restaurant

A kind of Family. Great sandwiches, great ambiance and great ANNA.

London / Park

A peaceful park in Kingston Upon Thames. You can see lovely houses and gardens across the river. It's a wonderful place where you can take a rest with your family or friends. I recommend you to take a walk after having lunch or dinner in riverside restaurants near to the park. It's not big, however, very enough to feel the beauty of nature. I've done some location drawings here which was quite exciting. Just seat on a bench and enjoy the comfortable atmosphere.

Changsha / Shop

A villa originally located at the foot of beautiful Yuelu Mountain, now has almost become the most chic, sprawling showcase of high-end clothing, and fashion-forward displays in Changsha, Hunan. Plus a gourmet cafe. This unique place called "之间", which means in between.

Tokyo / Photographer

Hiroshi Takizawa is a Tokyo based photographer who graduated from Mejiro University Faculty of Human Sciences Department of Psychological Counseling in 2006. Recently Hiroshi was awarded the Tokyo Frontline Photo Award 2012. "The reason why I take pictures is probably due to my desire to know about the root of everything. Of course, there is always more than one essence to things, and opinions differ depending on where you stand. However, there is only one truth. Perhaps, preparation and experience is required to accept this antinomy. It seems difficult to know the root of everything in this antinomy, but I will continue to compare the inside and outside in my works, based on the belief that everything is connected."
