    "The Journey of Creating Armenia's First Travel Guide." Author
    Matthew Karanian

    will discuss the challenges of creating the first commercial guide to
    Armenia and Artsakh, and present more than 100 photographs that show some of
    Armenia's most remote and off-the-beaten-path locations, as well as some
    familiar ones, too. Karanian will discuss some of the methods that that he
    and co-photographer Robert Kurkjian used to create the beautiful photography
    that is featured in their latest book, "Armenia and Karabakh: The Stone
    Garden Travel Guide." "Armenia and Karabakh: The Stone Garden Travel Guide"
    has won three national book awards. A gallery of one dozen Armenia
    photographs from the book, by Karanian and Kurkjian, were featured in the
    Los Angeles Times in April. The LA Times interviewed Karanian, and wrote a
    feature about their book, calling it "a fresh view on ancient Armenia."
    Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event, and the
    author will be on hand to sign copies.

    Matthew Karanian is a lawyer, writer, and photographer. He first traveled to
    Armenia in 1995, and he has worked there as Associate Dean of the law
    program at the American University of Armenia in Yerevan, 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. He
    has also served on the editorial board of the Armenian International
    Magazine (AIM).
