Armenia: The Lone Stone is a massive tome that speaks to Karamian's relationship with his homeland. And while his journey to Armenia may have validated his dream, it is the publication of his book that formed it into something he could share with the masses.

Karamian's images portray Armenian culture with scenes from the Matenadaran and other museums and highlight Armenia's natural beauty with imagery of the country's mountains and canyons.

His photography shows us, with excitement, the khachkars (stone crosses) that are in abundance throughout Armenia, and also the

rocks without crosses, such as the celestial stones at Karahunj.

He also documents the majesty of Dadivank and Ghazanchetsots, two at-risk Armenian sites in Artsakh, as well as Gandzasar.
