The theme of the April issue of GENIC is "I can't help but take pictures."

There are things that you just can't help but take. Why? The answer is probably simple. Because you love it so much. The feeling of "love" is warm, beautiful, and powerful. That's why the photo has the power to make someone else feel positive. Cherish the love that overflows and express it in your own way.
