Overview"Saudi Arabia; Saudi culture; American culture, Suburban lifestyle; Family, Eastern Province, Aramco A conversation about perception: readers will connect with the familiarity of the place, suburban lifestyle, the home, yet this home is not on American soil. The topic of Aramco as a company is popular in the media and financial markets, as an IPO will be floated for Saudi Aramco, the richest company in the world. As the company that provides majority of the energy to this world, almost everyone is connected by some degree back to this ""small"" town where this company is based. The photographer's impressions have developed over 25 plus years in the country, with majority of that time spent living inside of Dhahran. The images present a place that very few people in this world are able to visit or access; a book is the only way to get a sense of ARAMCO, the American compound for employees of the Saudi Arabian Oil Company. The book will include an insert of old advertisement from Aramco, distributed in the US in 1980s in magazines such as Sports Illustrated."
