For this book he carried over 200 pounds of gear on foot deep into the still-treacherous Cambodian jungle. The reproductions in this book are themselves rich, the blacks saturated and gradation of grays without limit. Profusely illustrated with the beautifuly printed photographs of the architecture of Angkor.<\/p>\n<p>Of the many sacred sites that Kenro Izu has photographed, Angkor Wat has undoubtedly become his most significant spiritual\u00a0and psychological subject. During a series of photography trips to Cambodia&#8217;s Angkor monuments, Izu became deeply moved by his encounters with children disfigured by landmines and desperate need of medical care. As a way of returning something to Cambodia he founded a not-for profit organization, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fwab.org\/\">Friends Without A Border<\/a> and built Angkor Hospital for Children in 1999. He has been responsible for its operation since.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Description:<\/strong> <span class=\"first3words\">Signed and dated by Kenro Izu.<\/span> Paperback copy with some tanning to the edges white wrappers.
