Photo Walk Talk: Kond (Yerevan)

Patreon Exclusive Video

Patreon Exclusive Video

A photo walk series that focuses on the photos. And learns through them.

This episode in Yerevan, Armenia, I cover a photo walk of Kond, one of the oldest quarters of Yerevan. Taking you back in time right in the center, almost like a city within a city, this walk up the maze-like hills of Kond, I cover a character you won’t find anywhere else in Yerevan, one that most visitors never know about. I share insights from the photos taken and explore ways to critique and learn from your photos, while giving you a personal look at the city and walk.
