[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We met in the marshrutka going from Yerevan to Stepanakert (capital of the Republic of Nagorni Karabakh). We were sitting next to each other in the back side of marshrutka for about seven hours. We stopped several times on the way, twice because of the technical problems with our mean of transport.
I was admiring beautiful mountain landscapes and listening to the stories of this nice lady. When we entered the territory of Karabakh she was pointing the places of battles during the azerian-armenian conflict. She was the first person from this region I met and talked to, sort of guide of Karabax's story.

P.S The reason I put Stepanakert in Armenia is explained as a note to my first picutre from Karabakh.

Hi Emilia,

together with your note I have a good impression of this personality. Maybe the contrast would be better if you took the black hole on the left instead of the car as background. But I know you needed time and the cooperation of your subject for this.
Anyway, good job !
Cheers Chris

nice to see something from armenia! i like the portrait for being so candid, and i like your note too.

Nice shot with a great color and light. The face of the woman is very sharped. Try now with a unfocus background, this help to enhance the subject.
