Full Framed
Got a good deal on this full frame (slightly bigger than 4x5) camera @ Vernisage Market, in Yerevan... lot's of fun to get back to the basics of Photography (when it was still more of an art than a science) !
Friends in Armenia
I will keep a wonderful memory of my new friends, and specially this "last supper" in the hills of the extended Caucasus mountain range...
Geghard Monastery
At Geghard, Armenia. Orthodox church, partly carved out of the mountain rock, dating back before the 4th century... (for more info, see http://www.armeniapedia.org/index.php?title=Geghard_Monastery).
In the prison of Grigor Luisavorich
Khor Virap is one of the most popular destinations in Armenia because it is where Grigor Luisavorich (St. Gregory the Illuminator) was imprisoned for 13 years before curing King Trdat III of a disease. This caused the conversion of the king and Armenia into the first officially Christian nation in the world in the year 301...
At the foot of the Ararat
Khor Virap Monastery, close to the border with Turkey, at the foot of the Ararat. (see http://www.armeniapedia.org/index.php?title=Khor_Virap_Monastery for more details)
