Well I'm off for Istanbul for a few days and then a week or so in Iran in time for the Persian New Year (Spring Equinox) I'll be taking a handheld 4x5 and I hope to have a chance to visit Isfahan, though most of the country shuts down for 2 weeks, and see if I can come close to some of Bill Zorn's photos.
Oh, guess what? No tripod restrictions at public monuments, and no laws prohibiting US travel as is the case for Cuba.
If you're interested, here are some tours
