Over 200 people attended YP Brazil's "Armenia" book signing at Boteco Ferraz in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
On October 13, 2008, AGBU Young Professionals of Brazil, in conjunction with the Consulate General of the Republic of Armenia in São Paulo and other sponsors, hosted the launch of "Armenia," a photo book by 29-year-old architect and photographer Stepan Norair Chahinian. The event took place at Boteco Ferraz, a popular city bar, and welcomed over 200 participants of all ages.
The idea for the book began four years ago while Stepan was living in Armenia. He took more than 2,000 photographs over 5 months and distilled his images into an attractive 144-page book. The final photography book is a mixture of landscapes, architecture and people, all with a documentary point of view.
"I'm glad to have accomplished this. I feel I can help the diaspora and promote the Armenian culture and values through photography," says Chahinian, who is also a YP Brazil committee member.
"Armenia" will be available at the AGBU bookstore in New York and also can be ordered by emailing ypbrasil@gmail.com. Part of the proceeds from the book sales will be donated to the All-Armenia Fund of Argentina.
