Additional Galen Rowell: A Retrospective Information
|
Galen Rowell was the archetypal adventure photographer, his iconic images published in leading magazines and scores of books, exhibited in major galleries, and cherished by fans ranging from the Dalai Lama to news anchor Tom Brokaw. When he and his wife and business partner, Barbara Cushman Rowell, perished in a small-plane crash in 2002, he had just completed a landmark assignment for National Geographic and had begun making stunning new images of his favorite old haunts in the Sierra Nevada.
Fortunately for us, his productivity was immense and his photographs eticulously archived, making possible this first and only comprehensive retrospective of his work. It includes more than 175 images representing all phases and dimensions of Rowell’s singular career, chosen by the editors with whom he worked most closely, overseen by his family and studio colleagues, and reproduced to the highest standards of lithography from digital masters of his 35mm frames. Complementing and illuminating the pictures are essays and commentaries by Rowell’s friends and associates from the worlds of mountaineering, conservation, photography, and publishing, along with an in-depth biographical introduction by Robert Roper and an appreciation of his work by photography critic Andy Grundberg.

What Customers Say About Galen Rowell: A Retrospective:
|
|
That is why "Galen Rowell: A Retrospective", deftly compiled and superbly published by the editorial board of the Sierra Club, is so highly recommended for personal, academic, and community library American Photography collections. Galen Rowell was a master photographer who utilized natural phenomena ranging from sunsets to the northern lights to produce truly memorable and artistic images that rose to museum quality standards of excellence. Dying in an accident at the age of 62, Rowell left behind a body of work that deserves to be memorialized in a compendium that will inspire future generations of what can be done to photographically capture magnificent landscape vistas and ephemeral natural phenomena.
I would say this makes anyone fall in love again with nature and landscape of America. It's a book of great images of all american landscape photographer works.
The fact that it's a soft cover edition makes it affordable as well. His untimely death in the crash of a charter flight that also killed his wife has robbed us of a great talent. One can only imagine the work he might have done using new digital camera technology.The printing quality of this book is very high. This book is a must have for all nature photographers. The only thing missing is a comprehensive index of the photographs appearing in the book. His photographs were unique, not just because of his camera skills, but also because of his athleticism. Galen Rowell was the best of his generation. He never "found a shot", he either chased it or climbed mountains to capture it.His images are an inspiration for all who seek to turn light, landscapes and clouds into magic.
excellent and on time and no problems. The seller provided the service that we would want all sellers to provide. This order was handled smoothly. This brand new book was exactly what we wanted. It came in time for Christmas, which was very important.
His death was a loss, but he lives on in these images Spectacular Photos and what an athlete.
