OCTOBER 21 • PAINT THE TOWN RED

I've been saying for a few years now that I would like to see an organized effort to fund graffiti artists local and abroad for a "Yerevan Graffiti" project. All these "dallans" and tunnels around town are hardly architectural treasures, and often depressing. Sometimes you see graffiti like in this photo, but never anything fantastic. I know it's not a popular or appreciated art, but it is one that I love and I hope to make this possible one day, or see someone run with the idea. I hold no intellectual property on this idea, if you like it... do it! :) Also, I had no internet yesterday, so I skipped a day. Sorry.

DECEMBER 3, 2009 • SEVAN SKIES

Winter time in Armenia carries a peaceful serenity that is over-shadowed by the roars of tourists in the summer time. Sevan in particular was a captivating sight surrounded by snowcapped mountains. Enjoying every minute, every opportunity.

FEBRUARY 7, 2010 • MOTHERHOOD

A tribute to the mothers who battle every day to keep their family going. Mothers in general have it tough. Mothers in Armenia make motherhood in the rest of the world look like a vacation. This is the wife of a distant cousin of mine in Armenia.
