Galen Rowell's Vision: The Art of Adventure Photography
What makes Rowell one of the world's top photojournalists and sets him apart from others in the field? Steve Werner, editor ofOutdoor Photographer, says the magazine's most popular columnist pursues his art the way a mountain climber pursues a peak: "planning the logistics, overcoming the hardships and conquering the unknown." The text, based on Rowell's monthly column for the magazine, is accompanied by images "chosen to illustrate concepts" rather than exhibit his best work -- or so he claims.  Don't believe him; the pictures will blow you out of the water as surely as a well-placed stick of dynamite.--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
