A tribute to Galen."I take my photographs from that emotional feeling within me, rather than from an emotional distance as a spectator," said world-famous photographer Galen Rowell Galen Avery Rowell (August 23, 1940 – August 11, 2002) was a noted wilderness photographer and climber. Born in Oakland, California, he became a full-time photographer in 1972. . It is this approach to photography that allows the reader to step into and truly experience the landscapes in Galen Rowell: A Retrospective (Sierra Club Sierra Club, national organization in the United States dedicated to the preservation and expansion of the world's parks, wildlife, and wilderness areas. Founded (1892) in California by a group led by the Scottish-American conservationist John Muir, the Sierra Club Books, $50). Rowell's photographs are not merely images of dazzling places, but records of dynamic moments, where nature seems to intentionally oblige the camera. It is as if Rowell communicated with the mountains, moons and wildlife, and they happily complied with his choreography choreography Art of creating and arranging dances. The word is derived from the Greek for “dance” and “write,” reflecting its early meaning as a written record of dances. .
