Last night was Dispatch Media’s first Travel X Thursday featuring IMPRINTS: Soul on Sole. it’s a travel art installation by Pilipinas Street Plan featuring 30 extraordinary nomads and know the tales behind their favorite travel footwear! It was a blast getting to meet fellow travelers for a while all in one place. The Art installation was really interesting, especially the part where the photos merge with the real life installation. It was also a pleasure to finally meet local author Caloy Libosada of the “26 Days Around the Philippines” fame, that book was a big influence when I started traveling. Sharing a few photos from that evening.
Coffee Origins 2010 Greenbelt 5
Coffee lovers have a reason to troop to Greenbelt 5, Ayala until next week. The Coffee Origins Exhibit is running at the Gallery Bridge at the 2nd level. I’m not really a coffee enthusiast but it’s a project I’m involved with like last year as the creative guys behind the booth designs used my photos from Lake Sebu, Bacolod and Iloilo on their booth. Check it out.

Meeting Per-Andre Hoffmann at the German Club

Yakan Bride one of my personal favorite Hoffman works at the Exhibit
I like going to Exhibits since I get to see other people’s vision and works. I try to imagine the circumstances on how they created those pieces and the message they are trying to implore. When I got an invitation for the exhibit of World Renowned Photographer Per-Andre Hoffmann at the exclusive German Club in Makati, I thought this would be worth the time. His name has a familiar ring to me so I have to google him up first and yes, I may have seen some of his works on print before.
