I tried to come up with a really great introduction to this video and I couldn’t. Everyone knows Galen Rowell was a great photographer and many consider his work in Yosemite every bit as influential to modern photography as Ansel Adams. His stories and photographs hold a special place for many, myself included.
Doug McConnell of Openroad.tv takes you along as Galen goes shooting his favorite prey, beautiful landscapes in Owens Valley and flying with Barbara.
Galen and Barbara’s legacy continues as their gallery Mountain Light continues to flourish and draw photographers from the world over to the small town of Bishop, California (South East of Yosemite). You can learn more about Galen and Barbara by visiting the Mountain Light website at MountainLight.com and if you’re up for the drive, head on over to Bishop. It’s a long drive but it’s worth it.
