Painting : A Journey to the World's Most Difficult Peak Carved on Silver Halide Film There are 14 mountains in the world, all of which are in the Himalayas. In October 2024, Naoki Ishikawa climbed one of them, Shichapama in the Tibet Autonomous Region. He became the first photographer to climb all 14 of them. Of the 14 mountains, K2 is the most difficult mountain to climb. At an altitude of 8611m, it is lower than Mount Everest, but the number of climbers is far less, and there are many people who have lost their lives. It is also called the "Heartless Mountain". In 2015 and 2019, he gave up the attack. In 2022, he finally reached the summit. Photo collection 『 K2 Naoki Ishikawa 』 K2 Ishikawa consists of 109 films taken during three K2 challenges. Starting from the town at the foot of the mountain, he climbed past the long blue glacier. The mountains, glaciers and people taken with a single-focus lens are just like the scenery he experienced. Readers will experience the path to the top of the mountain like a road movie. [Recommendation from editor] Ishikawa's beloved plane is Ploubel Makina 67. It is taken with Brownie film. The lens is an 80 mm single-focus lens. The distance between the photographer and the subject is shown as it is. Since the zoom does not work, we can experience the "Death Zone" with an altitude of more than 8000m from his position. We "ordinary people" cannot climb K2. On the contrary, not knowing the existence of K2 does not affect our life. However, the experience of K2 may change the way we see the world because it is part of the planet we live on. K2 is also part of the planet we live on. 8000
