The story of the Armenians has always been one of upheaval. For the past three thousand years, waves of immigrants left their homes--following ancient trade and pilgrimage routes, driven out by the 1915 Armenian Genocide, and fleeing countless wars, revolutions, and massacres.

There is Only the Earth is a selection of photographs from the author's "Armenian Diaspora Project", where she travelled around the world for several years visiting and photographing various Armenian diaspora communities from Los Angeles to France to Ethiopia. The commonalities she discovers through her work are remarkable, and she shows an excellent eye for color. If you have any interest in Armenians or diaspora cultures, you'll want to pick this up. ( )
