“I have been photographing the world’s sacred places since 1979. My lifelong theme in the photography is “beauty of impermanence”. I find a beauty in flower, as its life is only several days and can see the change every day. Even the stone monuments of sacred places, after a few thousand years, it starts to turn into sands just by natural elements, sun, wind and rain. I find it beautiful. People’s life is somewhat short, and knowing there is a limit of life, I see people shine within the time. As if the time polish a stone into a jewel. I see the same with people. My photographs in this show and a book, is a homage to a beautiful life<\/em>“. – Kenro Izu
\nKenro Izu (Osaka, 1949) is a Japanese-born photographer based in the United States. Since 1979 began his serious professional commitment to his fine art photography, travelling the world to capture the sacred ancient stone monuments in their natural settings.

He has also focused on Buddhism and Hindu monuments in South East Asia: Cambodia, Burma, Indonesia, Vietnam and India.
