Kenro is
a wonderful person and great photographer. I initially worked under him when
he was studio manager at Mel Dixon’s studio in NYC in the early 70s.
CHEERS!

platinum/palladium and carbon pigment prints of Bhutan
He didn't haul around a
300 lbs custom camera (it's a custom 14x18 Deardorff, actually), but he might
have had 300 lbs of equipment? (But even that I think must include
climbing/hiking gear.) He spoke at APIS in Santa Fe this year. Very enlightening. Also
very funny to spend some time with (my fiance and I ran into him and his wife
while we were all lost walking around downtown Santa Fe).

Has anyone here seen this exhibit which I hope to catch sometime the
next month or so:
The Rubin Museum of Art in NYC is currently exhibiting, "Bhutan, the
Sacred Within: Photographs by Kenro Izu" which features
platinum/palladium prints on watercolor paper and carbon pigment
prints.
The article at the link below says the photographer hauled a 300 lb
custom camera (for 14-inch-by-20-inch negatives) around Bhutan, which
is pretty amazing, given that the terrain is not exactly flat there.
