Armenia Alight Jim Kayalar

Armenia Alight is a historically significant photo book. It portrays images of Armenia from an era long gone. The book will showcase to the reader the beauty of historic Yerevan, Yerevan Parks and Sculptures, the Yerevan Cascades, major Armenian religious sites and Khor Virap. There are also plenty of photographs depicting the everyday life of the peoples in this unique destination. Why buy a photo book of historic destinations? Destination photography allows the reader to discover the past and present and travel into a time of less development and less people. Not necessarily into a better time or place but a time reflecting a moment in time that was perhaps unspoiled and less used if you will. Photography is both an art and a science. A mix of light, opportunity, time and space. It is to be at the right place at the right time as well as with the right subjects and objects. Sometimes what is in front of the camera is just as interesting as who is behind the camera. The photo represents an outcome that consists of all social and cultural paradigms both in front and behind the camera as well as technical and social skills of the photographer. "To a world where no child regardless of gender, color, religion or nationality shall ever shed a single tear". Jim Kayalar
