Bardez is the Armenian word for garden. It is etymologically tied to an ancient word for paradise, but that link goes deeper than etymology. Gardens have always been small pieces of paradise for me, and hearing the word in Armenian triggers a flood of warm memories.

Memories of wandering around my grandfather’s garden, plucking ripe plums and figs from their branches.
Memories of playing in my parents yard, the scent of jasmine in the summer heat.
Of sun warmed tomatoes in my mom’s vegetable patch.
The smell of dirt and grass.
Mud on my hands.
Sun on my skin.
Memories of paradise.

I hope you enjoy these gardens I’ve planted, and I hope they remind you of some warm and wonderful memories.

Notes:
 - This piece uses a shader to compute the lighting of the terrain in the first frame. If you don’t have a graphics card, you may have difficulty running this.

 - Append “&mag=N” to the end of the URL in live mode to specify a resolution multiplier. It will render the image N times larger than the size of your window. If you have specified anything greater than 1, a download will start automatically once the rendering is done. The maximum resolution seems to be limited by what your web browser allows. I have been able to output up to 11140px tall and wide using Firefox, which should be enough detail for prints up to 37x37 inches. I recommend keeping the console open while attempting larger renders. It will show you the progress of the render, and also show you if you have attempted too large a render for your system. N can be any positive whole or decimal number greater than or equal to 1.

 - Finally, collectors at the highest tier will be entitled to a signed print of their edition. For further details and updates, keep an eye on my Twitter (@_NatSarkissian).

What is photography?

I once asked myself this question when I started to take photographs, and it haunts me back lately

Should it be a definite image? telling something we are already familiar with?
Is a glimpse of light that trapped on celluloid considered one? 
How far we can stretch a photograph until it is still considered a photograph?

I Dream of a Day With a Neverending You

Folding Knife // Eiger

I have a senior at college whose family owns a flower/succulent garden, like a legit commercial garden where you visit and buy some of the plants. He likes to make things and do outdoor stuff too. At one time when we were camping, he lend me his knife, a folding one, and after I finished using it I got confused because I didn't know how to fold it back. He took it and fold it very easily but because I was still curious I ask him to open it again and let me figure it out. It was puzzling, there's no button or something like that, and my past experience with Victorinox folding toolset wasn't helping at all too. I'm too high on my horse to ask him how actually to fold it and spent the entire 10 minutes fiddling with it, to no avail. I ended up asking for the cheat code and feel stupid about it. You can fold it by pressing the jagged piece in the thumb area to the other side, which will unlock the blade so it can be folded. Fascinated by the mechanism, I pick up one too when visiting Eiger. Can't go wrong when it was 50% discounted and ended up for only 60k Rupiah. This is my galon opener by the way, mostly.

We Were Winning Before the Blue Screen

It was a rare sunny morning amidst rainy days
As we bathed in the light, one fellow decided to hop in

Aren't we lucky, as a human, to have quite a longer time to do things, to enjoy life?

Enjoying today, celebrating tomorrow
We were excited, we were free
We were hopeful

Crypto Wallet // Ledger Nano S

You can park your car in a garage, it can have an alarm that will trigger when there's an excessive shock, or there might be people around the neighborhood so thieves will be hesitant to steal your car. Having physical assets have its merit in term of security because they are tangible, you and everybody else can actually see and touch them and be aware of them. But what about digital assets? While you have 10k followers and know celebrities on social media, you are in fact are left alone in terms of security in this digital world. I never think about it before, not before I won a presale spot for Karafuru NFT, minted it, and then saw the price inflate. I was freaked out.

Micro Wallet // Paperwallet X Roman Klonek

My daily wallet, been using this since 2018. Yes, it is made from paper, Tyvek paper to be exact, the absurd paper that can't get wet and can't be ripped. I always hate wallet by the way, it adds unnecessary bulge in your pants because of the materials used. I can live throwing my money in my pockets but unfortunately, we still need to bring cards (too many, sadly) when going outside. So here it is, a wallet in the wide of a card, with only the necessary thickness needed.

I opened my eyes to see the world as beautiful
And I built a cage to hide in
I'm hiding, I'm trying to battle the night
