  • Images of eccentric Armenian women who although look different to society's standard norms, have no trouble fitting in with others.Yerevan, Armenia. 08/10/2008. "I am a woman who is not accepted by the society," out of all the women I photographed, none would say this or anything similar. Yet every time any of them walks along the street people look with amazement. When I would see one of them in the streets I would look at them just as everyone else would. There was strange interest and respect I felt towards them, so I decided to get to know them closer, talk to them, and photograph them for memory. Later on, the real meaning and importance of this photo-story developed. The women I photograph always separate themselves by dressing differently, wearing bright make up. If it is possible to live in our society the way they do, then it is also possible for Armenian women to make a step, and many steps, towards something more than what they have, and more than what they are doing. Through the bright and brave looks of these women, this story is meant to wake up some lives.
