PEROOMIAN'S PHOTO ESSAYS EXPLORE SPACE AND TIME IN ARMENIA
A Photographic Journey of my Homeland, Armenia by Vahe Peroomian
GLENDALE- Vahe Peroomian's recently published e-book, A Photographic
Journey of my Homeland, Armenia is a 220-page collection of 12 sweeping
photo essays chronicling Peroomian's travels and experiences in Armenia
and Nagorno-Karabakh from 2004 to 2011, during which he spent over
90 days in his ancestral homeland.
In addition to road trips to well-known, as well as many lesser
known, ancient sites, churches, and monuments, the essays include his
experiences covering the 2008 presidential elections, commemorations
of the Armenian Genocide, and the unveiling of a millennial church
discovered in the forests of Karabakh. The book also features 215
stunning color and black and white photographs from these voyages.
Author and Photographer Vahe Peroomian
"With every short walk, and with every kilometer driven, I wiped clean
the slate of my early impressions of Armenia, and fell in love with the
vibrant landscape, teeming with life, with beauty, and with ancient
wonders," writes Peroomian, who had first visited Armenia in 1980,
at the height of the cold war and of Soviet rule and suppression of
Armenian nationalism and identity.
Vahe Peroomian is a space scientist by profession, but has taken
every opportunity to pursue his fascination with photography and the
beauty of the Gaian landscape. He is a self-trained photographer,
and prefers a hands-on approach and independent experimentation
with photographic styles and techniques. He has found that the same
off-the-wall approach that works in solving physics problems helps
him see landscapes in a new light as well. The self-similar shapes in
landscapes and the play between cloud and landscape that characterize
many of his photographs are a manifestation of this viewpoint.
Peroomian's love of photography as a child and young adult blossomed
into a passion fourteen years ago. Since then, he has used every
opportunity, be it an extra day during a space science conference,
a visit to a national park, a road trip up the California coast, or
the trips to Armenia documented in this book, to pursue this passion.
A Photographic Journey of my Homeland, Armenia is available for
download for $9.99.
