Next Trip Only View Camera?

If I return to the dump, I think I will only come back with a view camera, not sure if that will be 4x5, 5x7 or 8x10 but a view camera seems the way to go now. I have established many relationships here because of the snapshots and the care packages, the joking and the fun times, I have become accepted. I can now travel the dump making 4 or 5 serious large format portraits a day. I still need to improve my Burmese, I need to double my efforts on my return to Canada.

I am seriously considering using either 5x7 or even 8x10, these portraits deserve a very large negative. I want to pay tribute to the humanity of the Burmese, it feels right, it feels like the time to bring in the heavy artillery.
