YP Brazil's "Armenia" Book Launch Attracts 200
On October 13, 2008, AGBU Young Professionals of Brazil, in
conjunction with the Consulate General of the Republic of Armenia in
São Paulo and others sponsors, hosted the launch of "Armenia," a photo
book by 29-year-old architect and photographer Stepan Norair
Chahinian. The event took place at Boteco Ferraz, a popular city bar,
and welcomed over 200 participants of all ages.
The idea for the book began four years ago while Stepan was living in
Armenia. He took more than 2,000 photographs over 5 months and
distilled his images into an attractive 144-page book. The final
photography book is a mixture of landscapes, architecture and people,
all with a documentary point of view.
"I'm glad to have accomplished this. I feel I can help the diaspora
and promote the Armenian culture and values through photography," says
Chahinian, who is also YP Brazil committee member.
"Armenia" will be available at the AGBU bookstore in New York and also
can be ordered by emailing [email protected]. Part of the proceeds
from the book sales will be donated to the All-Armenia Fund of
Argentina.
