**GPU NEWS- Message from the President **
Dear GPU friends,
Global Photographic Union, twice per year issues the ‘’GPU magazine’’ and gives voice to its members through it, as they compose articles for various photographic themes while we present their new GPU distinctions. At the same time, GPU news is being published so that members can be updated.
At the same time, as you all know, during July 2019, the 5th GPU photo – festival took place in Romania, with 124 participations of members from 23 countries from all the continents!
In order to show all participants works, GPU decided to create a book dedicated to this festival with 1 salon of photos for each participant of the photo- festival.
Both NEW GPU magazine issue ‘’Spring- Summer 2020’’ and ‘’5th GPU Photo Festival 2019- Book’’ have been just shipped to ALL active members.
We hope you enjoy both the magazine and the photo-festival book as the result of our hard work and passion for GPU, photography and appreciation to our members who love our association and support it thoroughly.
Many special thanks to GPU secretary Mrs Marija Milovanović Maksimović for her hard work in editing the magazine and book.
Big thanks also go to Eleftheria Konsolaki for her hard work in organizing and preparing all the shipments.
Many special thanks to all of you for embracing GPU !
My regards
Manolis Metzakis
GPU President
