I am proud to welcome Timo Vogt and his Photo Agency Randbild in the Art Club Caucasus International. Timo travelled the whole Caucasus Area various times and fell in love to it. He has a talent to catch situations, which look at first glance common, but develop to a true time witness/ Zeitgeist photo with a deeper look. Timo will marry his girl-friend Tine in June in Germany, our best wishes to them from the Club.

Ok, after Herr Holger John joined the Club as the best living German drawer a short time ago, today joined the Art Club from the same famous town of Dresden, the best living German painter (at least too me, and a few others) Herr Andreas Thieme.

I am incredible glad, as he told me, that he tries to join our little party in August, despite his duties in the studio. He said, he will eventually do some small drawings in Tusheti :-)
