	Galen Rowell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Galen Rowell (August 23, 1940 - August 11, 2002) was a noted wilderness photographer and climber.
		He was very well-known as a photographer: Ansel Adams considered Rowell to be his most likely successor, and he was often referred to as the Ansel Adams of color photography.
		Rowell was also highly regarded writer on subjects ranging from photography, humanitarian and environmental issues, human visual cognition, and mountaineering, publishing numerous magazine articles and eighteen books in his lifetime.

		Galen’s images are so full of life, of adventure, of a willingness both as a journalist and a photographer to match the great moments in the landscape.
		Galen was making a living as a photographer working out of a spare bedroom in his house near Berkeley, Calif., but I still thought of him as a climber who happened to take photographs.
		Galen lived much of his life in touch with true wilderness, with great concern for the environment, and was certainly an example for us all to strive for.

	Remembering Galen Rowell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		One of the most renowned contemporary nature photographers, Galen Rowell, died last weekend in the crash of a private plane near the eastern foot of the Sierra Nevada.
		Like his predecessors, Rowell produced images that are at once true and false, although their falsity is not the product of intentional deception or the unethical manipulation of their content.
		Through the work of Rowell and other such artists, we are able to own a moment, a place, without altering it; we can enjoy a romanticized landscape, adopt it as our image of reality, and allow that to shape our attitudes toward the use and protection of actual nature.

		Barbara was the less publicly visible of the Rowells, but she and Galen were a remarkable pairing, one that consistently amazed you in its depth and breadth.

		Galen Rowell, who has died aged 61, with his wife Barbara in a plane crash in California, was the most famous outdoor photographer in the world, regularly shooting features for National Geographic during a life spent travelling in remote countries around the world.
		Their friendship led to an exhibition of Rowell's work on 5th Avenue in New York, a project which was published in his greatest book, Mountain Light, which captured the essence of his philosophy.
		Rowell was a populist, on a mission to share his technical insight with amateur photographers and determined to share an idealised vision of the American landscape in particular.

		Galen Rowell has inspired me with his stories and photos since I was in high school and became interested in wilderness adventure.
		Galen's study of cognitive psychology, visual perception, and the illusionistic qualities of light, combined with his love of Creation and phenomenal athletic ability allowed him to advance his photography to the level of a truly artistic magician.
