Experiencing the Dreams of Oskar Barnack
The camera that Oskar Barnack dreamed of, with its carry-about convenience, compactness, and high performance, is still the ideal camera today. It has evolved even further with the innovation of the mirrorless design - as seen in the LUMIX DMC-GX7, the newest embodiment of that ideal camera.

Georgia: Past and Present
After having spent most of the 1990s photographing the wars and conflicts in the Caucasus, I returned to live in Tbilisi in 2008. The city I had known was recuperating from a civil war, with rampant crime and frequent power outages. In recent years, Tbilisi has turned into a laboratory for modern design and architecture and is fast becoming a new tourist destination. I am trying to take a look at this high-speed modernization, in a country with an ancient, often archaic culture at the edge of Europe.

Panasonic LUMIX GX7 Shooting Impression by Thomas Dworzak
BIOGRAPHY - Thomas Dworzak
After studying in his native Germany, Thomas travelled Europe and the Middle East, capturing the war in the former Yugoslavia, before documenting the conflicts in Chechnya, Karabakh and Abkhazia. A Magnum member since 2004, the decade after 9/11 saw Thomas extensively covering the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and their impact on US politics. Now based back in Georgia, Thomas continues to cover some news stories, such as the Arab Spring in Libya and Egypt.
Roman Renaissance
I'm working towards an exhibition in London next year - The Greatest Cities In The World. Over 40 years as a professional photographer I have been discovering these places – watching them and their people change and evolve. I have visited Rome many times before but not had the opportunity to explore and capture it the way I have so many other cities. When considering the 'Great' cities of the world Rome would certainly feature, but perhaps more so due to its reputation in antiquity as apposed to the Rome of today. I want to explore if Rome is still a Great City or if it that mantle is now nothing more than the Emperor's New clothes.
