**A Shoutout to Georgia Tatakus**

We'd like to give a big shoutout to George Tatakus, a Greek photographer who recently shared his work with us. George's latest catalog from his exhibition at the Fragonard Museum in Grasse, France, is truly stunning. His images are in black and white, and he's been traveling around Greece capturing local traditions and customs. We love how he's using photography to tell stories and share his vision with the world.

We're also excited to hear that George has been published in many media outlets, including National Geographic Leica Magazine, F-Stoppers, and more. His work is truly inspiring, and we can't wait to see what he comes up with next. As a photographer, George is not only talented but also dedicated to his craft, and it shows in every image he takes.

We'd like to thank George for sharing his work with us and for representing Greece to the European Exhibition. We'll be sure to check out his YouTube channel, where we hear he's starting a new project called "Philosophy of the Photographer". We can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

**A Shoutout to Svetsilov Ivanov**

We're also excited to share a shoutout to Svetsilov Ivanov, who recently shared his book with us. The cover is truly eye-catching, and we love the concept behind it - an experiment where George shares one day of his life in the streets of Bulgaria, inspired by Robert Frank's work on "The Americans" and the film "Being John Malkovich".

We think this project is a great way for George to share his perspective with the world, and we can't wait to see what he comes up with next. The photos are all done spontaneously without any prior preparation or scenarios, which we think adds to the authenticity of the work.

As a photographer, Svetsilov's love for life and his passion for capturing moments is truly inspiring. We're excited to hear more about this project and see what George has in store for us next.
