Onnik Krikorian.
Pictures
taken in Kutaisi and Tbilisi
At the end of December 2006, we were introduced to the Armenian based
photographer and journalist Onnik Krikorian.
He came to us via EveryChild with
the highest credentials. But it only took one viewing of his website
to convince
us that here was a highly gifted photographer. Go
to website.
Once he was contacted we found he was not only talented but incredibly
enthusiastic, energetic and sympathetic to what we were hoping to achieve.
There followed, in what proved to be shortest possible time, a plan to
travel to Kutaisi overland from Yerevan to cover photographically the
life & conditions of the Kutaisi
Social Work team
This is a taster of some of the 900 B&W pictures that have been taken
for us during the week of his stay. They depict the conditions that the
Kutaisi social workers face daily and the children who we hope will benefit
from the new Georgian reforms being put in place.
We are indebted to EveryChild, especially their country director, Andro
Dadiani for all his help.
To those in Kutaisi too who helped to make
this happen, especially Anna & Khatuna and of course Onnik for working
in poor lighting conditions and at great speed to produce a wonderfu;
selection of photographs- many thanks.
