Romeo Gacad: An international Figure
“Romeo Gacad majored in visual communication at the College of Fine Arts of the University of the Philippines where he became a photographer for the Philippine Collegian.”
“Gacad joined Agence France-Presse in 1985 and covered three US wars: the 1991 Gulf War, the 2001 war in Afghanistan and the 2003 invasion of Iraq where he spent 41 days as an embedded photographer in the US Army 3rd Infantry Division. Gacad’s coverage of the 1988 Olympics, the 2001 war in Afghanistan and the 2003 Iraq war earned him Pulitzer nominations.”
“When not covering conflict or disaster, Gacad loves to shoot farms and nature. He produced his first book together with National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario in 1983, titled “Retrato at Recuerdos,” a black and white documentation of life in a peasant village in San Miguel, Bulacan. Gacad’s photographs have appeared in international publications and have graced the cover of Time and Newsweek magazines.”

Electric Light Shoes for Onitsuka Tigers
Dutch designers Freedon of Creation have created a giant, illuminated shoe containing a miniature city for Japanese footwear brand Onitsuka Tiger.
The shoe, which is intended to communicate Onitsuka Tiger’s Japanese roots, is 3 feet long and contains a miniature city inside, the stripes resemble streets and highways and tall building point out from the shoe’s opening. The intricate detail was achieved with rapid prototype manufacturing, a process that allows a CAD file to be transformed into a solid object.
How amazing!
