ufp Exhibition 2007

This exhibition, the 5th in the series, started in 2003 by ufp members who had lived in the 5 continents; America, Asia, Europe, Oceania and Africa. As its name indicates, this is a global photo exhibition named after the ufp's worldwide network and colorful photographs which cover the five continents. This year, the exhibition keeps adding artists' photographs until the end date, starting from works of Shinjuku Street, Cuban Musician, World Landscapes, Japanese Contemporary Dance Group, and Free Hugs. It's a photograph-live by photographers emphasizing the handmade feeling.
