Collaboration with my colleague Paul Lewis
In spring 2022, an artistic adventure blossomed through our collaboration with the Children of Armenia Fund. Thanks to the vision of co-founder Dr. Garo Armen and the diligence of CEO Korioun Khatchadourian and supported by Senior Project Manager Shahane Halajyan, we joined forces with the dedicated team at the Smart Centre. Accompanied by enthusiastic teenagers, we ventured into nearby nature and harnessed their curiosity to create cyanotypes. The youth embraced this creative medium with infectious excitement. Seeing their world through their eyes offered invaluable perspective and fostered self-expression. We are deeply grateful to COAF for facilitating this cultural exchange and enriching our understanding of this vibrant community.
The Project
Let curiosity guide your camera!
We're thrilled to invite teens to rediscover their surroundings through the magical, retro world of cyanotypes. This mindful photography technique unlocks creativity and self-expression. Gather your friends for an artistic adventure, as we transform fields into canvases with sun-sensitive paper. Don't just look - see! Help us preserve precious memories and perspectives using a camera, imagination, and the great outdoors. Let's tell visual stories that matter. Our time with the aspiring teens at the COAF Center flew by too fast. Their contagious excitement fuels our passion to make each workshop count. Let's keep this community collaboration growing!
