love. The love that is called, Photography!
Our exhibition is the result of a competition.
But the competition was not an end in itself.
Our goal is to offer education in the field of art
and enjoy the happiness that comes from work-
ing with this beautiful and creative procedure.
The art of photography is for many a subcon-

some, it is a way out from daily life, with its
problems and dead-ends. For others it is a
deep need to express feelings and impressions
caused by our surroundings, on an excursion, a
journey, an event, but also in a studio.
It is within these frameworks that works of art
are born. But when is a photograph considered
a work of art? When it has something more to
say than just a mere illustration. A true crea-
tor is recognised through his/her ability to spot
elements worthy of attention, even through the
most common, humble things. The role of art is
to offer spiritual vision to reality.
Let us seek the spiritual vision of our artists
through this exhibition and through examining
