WATERTOWN, Mass.-On Sun., March 10, on the occasion of the third
edition of his travel guide for Armenia and Karabagh, author and
photographer Matthew Karanian will give a talk at the Armenian Library
and Museum of America (ALMA) about the challenges of creating the book,
with anecdotes from his decade of research.
Author-Photographer Matthew Karanian in southern Armenia Karanian
depicts Armenia's national heritage through his many photographs
of monasteries and fortresses, taking the reader off the beaten
path to ancient sites that are rarely seen by tourists, and to
environmental treasures such as Shikahogh, Teghut, and Sevan. Many of
the book's photographs were created along with co-photographer Robert
Kurkjian. Images from the historic and ancient diasporan community
of Jerusalem, which is the subject of a future book by Karanian,
will also be shown.
Matthew Karanian is a native of New Britain, Conn. He practiced law
for about a dozen years in Hartford, and now has his own law firm
in Pasadena, Calif. Karanian first traveled to Armenia in 1995, to
work at the American University of Armenia (AUA). He later served
as Associate Dean of the law program at AUA, and as director of the
university's Legal Research Center. He and his law students founded
Armenia's first English-language law journal, the Armenian Law Review.
The event begins at 2 p.m. at ALMA, located at 65 Main St. in
Watertown. It is free and open to the public ($5 donation suggested).
Refreshments will follow the presentation, and Karanian will be
available to sign copies of the guidebook.
