    I believe that angusparker is referring to, and paying homage to, the original poster, Nicholas Nixon. Kodachrome25, if you're not familiar with Mr. Nixon's work, I suggest that you check it out right away.

    Well if the OP isn't a big enough Rock Star in the photographic community for you (if indeed its the same Nick Nixon that did the Brown Sisters and has a long and valued body of outstanding work, and I like Mark believe it is, and am happy to think he might contribute here) then these are all wonderful and inspiring photographers who have all done significant work with larger camera's often to produce incredible alternative process prints that prior to the advancements in digital negatives weren't possible without large in camera negatives;

    Your definition of Rock Star may be quite different than mine of course,

    This is the Nick Nixon who is OP of this thread.

    If anyone can do "rock star" compositions with the 14X17" format I believe Mr. Nixon has a fighting chance.

    I'm with you Sandy! Would love to see the work Mr. Nixon does with whichever camera maker he chooses.

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for writing. My camera for years has been an 8x10 Deardorff, made lighter for me by both Jack Deardorff and Richard Ritter. So of course I am curious even though I suspect your price will be out of reach and the camera will weigh 40 lbs.
    Can you weigh it and tell me what you will sell it for please? is there any chance of a picture or two?

    Nice photos Nick!

    My empire state doesn't come close to 40 pounds I don't think, and they tend to be relatively affordable. I haven't weighed it though.

    I think he uses 14x20, his own invention, a "shaved 16x20".
    Website of sorts, as well as flickr thing.

    My 14 x 17 wisner is about 35 lbs.
    I think (flying camera) Scott Davis has Rob Kendricks former 14 x 17 canham. Maybe he can relate weight.
