Commissioned photography for The New York Times. I was sent out to Estonia for its forthcoming celebration of its 100th anniversary of its founding with a cultural rebirth. The centerpiece was the newly opened Estonian National Museum, a stunning, 1,160-foot-long glass structure set on a Soviet-era airbase runway in the city of Tartu designed by DGT architects Dan Dorell, Lina Ghotmeh & Tane Tsuyoshi. In the capital, Tallinn, creativity is also flourishing in the independent design shops in Telliskivi Creative City, a renovated 19th-century railway factory complex, and restaurants like Leib and Noa, where young chefs are experimenting with fresh takes on traditional Estonian cuisine and brewers are cultivating an exciting craft beer scene.
