Our goal at SIRUI USA is to provide you with the latest news on our products, introduce you to some great photographers and to help you Capture Your Imagination. This Newsletter will be delivered on or about the 25 th of each month and we expect this to become one of many opportunities for us to interact with all types of photographers. We would love your ideas for future editions. Please feel free to forward your ideas to SIRUI Professional Profile Craig Varjabedian, Eloquent Light Photography Craig Varjabedian s memory of the day that inspired his passion for photography is as clear as the glacial waters of Lake Louise in his native Canada. Craig was seven years old and in awe of the majestic landscape around him. His mother encouraged him to peer into the viewfinder of the family s Kodak camera for the first time and release the shutter. In that instant, he discovered the wonder of capturing a moment in time. Later lured by the enigmatic vistas and people of the American West, Craig made Santa Fe, New Mexico, his home and found the artistic voice that is the hallmark of his fine art photography. Craig s passion is creating art that explores and expresses the truth of his experiences in intimate portraits and luminous landscapes. His luminous photographs reflect his heart-felt connection to authenticity and beauty; the photographer uses the depths of black & white and the nuances of color to move viewers beyond the realm of simple print on paper. For over forty years, his devotion to making photographs and producing meticulously hand-crafted prints is evident in each image he makes. The results are images only a master in love with his art can divine.

2 Ten books have been published on Craig Varjabedian s photographic work, including En Divina Luz: The Penitente Moradas of New Mexico, Four & Twenty Photographs: Stories from Behind the Lens, Ghost Ranch and the Faraway Nearby and Landscape Dreams, A New Mexico Portrait. His upcoming book Into the Great White Sands celebrates the beauty of White Sands National Monument, will be published by the University of New Mexico Press in Spring Eloquent Light Photography Workshops All images on this page and the following are property of Craig Varjabedian / Eloquent Light Photography

John R. from Tennessee asked I shoot a lot of concerts and events in Nashville and many places do not allow tripods. What do you recommend to support my camera while shooting in these venues? John, This is an easy one. Yes, many venues and museums do not allow tripods because of a potential tripping hazard. We always recommend checking with the venue prior to arrival to understand the limitations. The ideal solution for venues that do not allow tripods is the SIRUI line of Monopods. Our monopods are renowned for their amazing features and variety of sizes. We have standard monopods, but for your purposes, one of our Photo/Video Monopods would be perfect. With its patented panning system in the upper grip and three-foot tilting base, they provide the perfect compact footprint that will allow you to move about the venue with ease, while providing exceptional support for your gear.
