My copy arrived, and time slipped by. Shame on me. Nicolas Blandin’s book is a wonderful collection of images made when he travelled to Armenia in 2013–2014 after being captivated by the land and its people … Continue reading In the Country of Stones by Nicolas Blandin

It is a visual love affair with people, places and scenes presented in soft, colorful tones, and thoughtful compositions that create a meaningful dialog between photographer and the city of Nuestra Señora de la Paz, or just La Paz for short.  Entropy and pragmatic utility stand … Continue reading Peace in the Valley by Saleem Ahmed
