Hell, anyone can make a stunningly beautiful picture when in the Ghost Ranch Country of Northern New Mexico. If this is not the work of a "Master", I am at a loss about what is. Are there any publications available about his work? I am very, very impressed. I never have seen anything like this at or near the "Visiter's Center at Ghost Ranch.......Wow!.......Regards!Somewhere an essay describes Varjabedian's photographic work life for Ghost Ranch. I think he spent two years living (camping?) mostly in a storage room that was provided by friends in nearby Abiquiu. The terrain is relatively flat, except for the surrounding, towering cliffs.
I believe he used one wooden view camera with one old Zeiss Protar https://apenasimagens.com/en/protar-v-anastigmat-118-carl-zeiss-jena/
Several times every year I stay in Ghost Ranch's shared cabins or camp sites. It's relatively near (in New Mexico-think) to Christ In The Desert Benedictine monastery...which has also let me stay per the Rule of Benedict. https://christdesert.org/
Here's some of his current work. https://www.newmexico.org/event/private-photo-workshop-tour-with-craig-varjabedian/3799/

JTK, I would really like to thank you for bringing Craig Varjabedian to my and our attention. I had not heard of this gentleman (and his descriptions about making his pictures sounds like he IS a gentleman) until today and because of you I am enjoying the beautiful work of yet another extremely talented photographer. I especially like his B&W. Thank you again. You have made this old man's day.......Regards!Important contemporary New Mexican photographer.
