This was the postcard for the exhibit I did at Goodman2 Atrium Gallery way back in 2006,
of the photographs I took on my first and only visit to the land of my ancestors Armenia in 2005.
But...I never got around to actually posting them (!!!)...
I had taken 23 rolls of film with an old dinky camera (this was right before I got a digital camera).
Well, finally the time has come to post them! Better late than never!!!
