Artem Kušiks | Riga Spotted by Locals

Artem Kušiks (1985)

About me
I was born in the mid 80s, just before the third Latvian Awakening, therefore during my short life I have already seen big changes in Riga. I’ve seen how Latvia morphed from Advanced Soviet Republic to a developing and independent European State.

Why Riga?
I live, love and know Riga very well, and I have been running a photo blog (Riga Daily Photo) since 2007, at some point it was extremely popular, but then other websites like Spotted by Locals overtook my position. Now I write articles about Riga from time to time just for fun.
