Some Galen Rowell's quotes. Goto "Galen Rowell's quotation" section for more.The reason that I keep writing is that all my most powerful messages about the fates of wild places that I care about need to have words as well as images.
Tags: Care, Powerful, WritingThere'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.
Tags: Complex, Question, WordsI 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.
Tags: Done, Real, WorkA lot of people think that when you have grand scenery, such as you have in Yosemite, that photography must be easy.
Tags: Easy, Grand, SceneryI think landscape photography in general is somewhat undervalued.
Tags: General, Landscape, SomewhatI'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.
Tags: Emotional, Feeling, SpiritualWhat I mean by photographing as a participant rather than observer is that I'm not only involved directly with some of the activities that I photograph, such as mountain climbing, but even when I'm not I have the philosophy that my mind and body are part of the natural world.
Tags: Mean, Mind, PhilosophyAnd most of my early pictures failed but about one in a 100 somehow looked better than what I saw.
Tags: Early, Failed, PicturesThere is no question that photography has played a major role in the environmental movement.
Tags: Played, Question, RoleThese days, most nature photographers are deeply committed to the environmental message.
Tags: Days, Message, NatureToday, I'm very careful not to mention very specific locations when I write or give captions.
Tags: Give, Today, WriteWanting to take a light camera with me when I climb or do mountain runs has kept me using exclusively 35 mm.
Tags: Camera, Light, MountainWhen we tune in to an especially human way of viewing the landscape powerfully, it resonates with an audience.
Tags: Audience, Human, LandscapeEver since the 1860s when photographers travelled the American West and brought photographs of scenic wonders back to the people on the East Coast of America we have had a North American tradition of landscape photography used for the environment.
Tags: America, American, UsedI 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.
Tags: Light, Means, ThoughtI began taking pictures in the natural world to be able to show people what I was experiencing when I climbed and explored in Yosemite in the High Sierra.
Tags: Able, High, ShowI 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.
