If you ever wondered what a metal concert in the Caucusus looked like, here it is.

Took these for a newspaper in Yerevan, but we ended up past the publishing period, so they were just sitting. But this would be the first concert I've shot in a looooong time, so I wanted to share.

Two months ago I met my parents in London.
Nick Szadyr, Katherine Szadyr, Mary Elizabeth Ouzounian: Show these to our luddite parents.

These are pretty old, but I thought it fitting, given the recent news, to show Artsakh, and all the good that is there. I'm not here to make a statement, or a condemnation, but instead just want to show a glimpse into this beautiful region, it's beautiful people, and why it's worth defending.

Day one was a long bus ride with a couple stops along the way, including the mountain peak nest of the Tatev Monestary.

Following our journey to Tatev, via the world's longest single-section railcar, it was off to Shushi for the night, where we met our incredibly hospitable hosts who (in my case) sent us to bed with some homemade vodka (called ooghi).

Next morning we awoke to a stunning mountain view, ready for the second day and a new adventure.
