GERMANY OBIT LUCAS DOLEGALUCAS MEBROUK DOLEGA , epa photographer , died 17 January 2011 in Tunis after injuries sustained 14 January while covering the unrest in that country . . Lucas walked into our Paris office in April 2006 . A young man who above all wanted to become a photojournalist , Lucas ' passion was the image . He was driven by his need to cover major conflicts . He grew in those four years to become a thorough professional . And he did so with a total sense of decency . Based in Paris , he also covered politics , protests and fashion in Europe . In 2008 he covered the situation in the Congo . He left Paris a few days ago for Tunisia . He was a firm believer in ' the closer , the better '. And although he spoke fluent Arabic , language makes no difference when you are being fired upon . Struck at the hands of a Tunisian police officer , he was hit by a tear gas grenade at close range . He died 36 hours later at the age of 32 . His last pictures , transmitted by his colleagues after his injury , make us proud , as does his entire body of work . We have lost a dear colleague , a good and gentle man and talented professional , who paid the ultimate price for his passion in life .
