Judy Jordan, owner of Koehler Galleries in Lincolnton, recently exhibited her work at the 2006 Print Competition of the Georgia Professional Photographers Association, which convened at the Marriott Hotel September 16 - 20 in Columbus, Ga.

The GPPA sponsors a highly competitive statewide photographic exhibit, which is jurored by a panel of judges qualified to evaluate and score each work submitted. Only those works scoring at or above a predetermined level are accepted to be displayed in the GPPA Print Exhibit.

The GPPA is an active association comprised of over 500 professional photographers throughout the state of Georgia, with a diverse membership involved in every aspect of professional photography. Founded in 1959, the GPPA established standards for professional ethics and performance, and its educational services help members acquire and maintain the highest credentials in the industry.
