Galen Rowell - From the Audience category:
When we tune in to an especially human way of viewing the landscape powerfully, it resonates with an audience. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Communication category:
There's no question that photographs communicate more instantly and powerfully than words do, but if you want to communicate a complex concept clearly, you need words, too. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Critics category:
I remember when an editor at the National Geographic promised to run about a dozen of my landscape pictures from a story on the John Muir trail as an essay, but when the group of editors got together, someone said that my pictures looked like postcards. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Environment category:
There is no question that photography has played a major role in the environmental movement. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Nature category:
I'm exchanging molecules every 30 days with the natural world and in a spiritual sense I know I am a part of it and take my photographs from that emotional feeling within me, rather than from an emotional distance as a spectator. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Nature category:
These days, most nature photographers are deeply committed to the environmental message. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Photography category:
I almost never set out to photograph a landscape, nor do I think of my camera as a means of recording a mountain or an animal unless I absolutely need a 'record shot.' My first thought is always of light. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Photography category:
I find it some of the hardest photography and the most challenging photography I've ever done. It's a real challenge to work with the natural features and the natural light. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Photography category:
I began to realise that film sees the world differently than the human eye, and that sometimes those differences can make a photograph more powerful than what you actually observed. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Searching category:
The landscape is like being there with a powerful personality and I'm searching for just the right angles to make that portrait come across as meaningfully as possible. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Seeing category:
Cognitive scientists would support the view that our visual system does not directly represent what is out there in the world and that our brain constructs a lot of the imagery that we believe we are seeing. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Skill category:
My mountaineering skills are not important to my best photographs, but they do add a component to my work that is definitely a bit different than that of most photographers. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Subject category:
A lot of people think that when you have grand scenery, such as you have in Yosemite, that photography must be easy. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Titles category:
Today, I'm very careful not to mention very specific locations when I write or give captions. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Vision category:
If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only to make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Words category:
The combination of pictures and words together can be really effective, and I began to realise in my career that unless I wrote my own words, then my message was diluted. (Galen Rowell)
Galen Rowell - From the Worth category:
I think landscape photography in general is somewhat undervalued. (Galen Rowell)
