field notes  |  a blog

Hi, I'm Craig Varjabedian, a photographer and a teacher living life and making pictures in the Land of Enchantment—Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. I have learned a lot after more than 40 years of making photographs, exhibiting my work, writing several books, teaching workshops at Eloquent Light Photography Workshops in Santa Fe and for museums around the country. 

"By teaching others you will learn yourself." the Armenian spiritual teacher George Gurdjieff said. That's the reason for this blog—to pass along things I have learned from behind the lens and invite you to comment and share things you've learned too—in essence to create a dialogue about the meaning of photographs and the process of making them. 

I invite you to stop by when you feel compelled and leave a comment or two when the spirit moves. Thanks!
