Welcome to the first issue of the new-look akg-images newsletter for 2012. This year we'll be bringing
you all the latest information on new collections and photographers at akg, as well as exploring anniversaries and topics you
may not realise we cover. With the Olympics, the Queen's Diamond
Jubilee and the CEPIC Congress in town this year, it's going to be a
busy time in London, and an even busier year in the akg offices, so let's get cracking!
