New York / Bar

This is one of my favorite bars in Manhattan. It has a courtyard in the middle and they only serve a large selection of Belgian beer. It's always dark with red lights so it's like a giant darkroom with everyone developing hangovers instead of film. The courtyard creates a front bar that is open on the weekends, so if you get cornered talking about architecture you can escape over to the front bar and watch people walk down 4th street.

Auckland / Beach

Favourite beach in summer. There's a long stretch of white sand with a camping site close to the water.

Milan / Art

Art and design museum in the Parco Sempione. Some permanent and some rotating exhibitions. Definitely visit the Casa Lana installation and the Italian Design permanent exhibit.

New Delhi / Cafe

Perfect brunch place with great coffee and shockingly good pizzas (which isn't typically breakfast food I know, but a good excuse to extend your sunday afternoon to a late pizza lunch). They also have a dog menu and are pet friendly! The couches all have plug points built in at the bottom which makes me regret not getting my computer and spending the whole day here at every visit. Gets packed quick on Sundays though!

New York / Market

This marketplace is home to tons of amazing local restaurants, shops, and vendors— from flowers, meat and cheese, wine, and a food court downstairs. There is definitely something for you here.

Ghent / Nature

If the city has been enough, grab your bike and head of to some of the beautiful natural areas surrounding Ghent. By following the water you can ride a beautiful bike-ride to the Gentbrugse Meersen and take in some fresh air!

Miami / Cafe

The very best pancake-bacon-scrambled-eggs-hash-browns-and-perfect-diner-coffee breakfast.

Berlin / Gallery

Blake & Vargas is side project of our Studio - a showroom for contemporary art with a diverse program of exhibitions & performance, that reflects the complexity of Berlin’s art scene. The next exhibition season starts again in January 2020. Also check out the website for our latest editions.

Moscow / Area

Red October is a former industrial area in central Moscow that's included a chocolate factory Red October, hence the name. Today it's one of the most flamboyant altough inconveniently located cultural quarters, full of art galleries, bars, fashion stores, a design school, night clubs and edtiorial offices of magazines. The photo (depicting a rather typical business redevelopment on the other shore of the Moskva River) was taken from a terrace that's part of the editorial office of Bolshoi Gorod magazine for which I have the privilege to photograph from time to time.

Berlin / Bakery

Lovely relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful courtyard. Great variety of Breads, and Delicious pastries.

Denver / Cafe

A great bakery in Denver's Ballpark District, Hi*Rise is the perfect place to pick up a Jalapeno breakfast sandwich and coffee for breakfast, They also have a variety of delicious sandwiches for lunch, and definitely have the best peanut butter cookies around. Be sure to stop in on a weekend morning for their "waffle weekends", and try a buttermilk, blueberry, or red velvet waffle, served by their always friendly staff.

Lahore / Restaurant

Adjacent to the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, The Coocos Den owned by Artist Iqbal Hussian is a delightful place to sample traditional dishes from the Punjab whilst being amidst the historically rich area of the Heera Mandi district of lahore.

Glasgow / Photographer

I am an observer. Through digital and analogue photography, still and moving images, I explore the potential ground that exists between fine art and documentary photography. Drawing inspiration from various conditions of the reality around me, from the great interest in the modern, dynamic art scene but also from my personal experiences, I believe in the power of images to convey the emotions, truths and challenges of modern reality. Having spent the majority of my life away from my motherland, I often return to the theme of homesickness and belonging in my artwork. My approach to picture making is to present ordinary, non-idealised, never staged reality. Such practice is the formulation of an interest in things as they are. By using only one lens which is the most similar to a human field of view, I am capturing the moments and non-moments that drag my attention. I am a sentimental and nostalgic artist and the camera is the best tool to anchor oneself to memories and emotions that are constantly fleeting. My work starts with a strong interest in the moment, light or a situation. The process of looking begins before taking a photograph and continues afterwards. Selecting pictures, printing, making connections, framing or setting up an exhibition space, all of it seems connected to the way of seeing. I immerse myself in the medium fully and utterly.
