YouTube offers its global audience a unique opportunity to see the large-scale events live even if they can’t be there in person.

The new product is celebrating the art of photograpy, provides an opportunity to see photos in print (in our digital era, this becomes a rare thing) and offers a nice contribution to a philatrophic community.
