Today, I'm very careful not to mention very specific locations when I write or give captions.

Ever 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.

The landscape is like being there with a powerful personality and I'm searching for just the right angles to make that portrait come across as meaningfully as possible.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

And most of my early pictures ...

And most of my early pictures failed but about one in a 100 somehow looked better than what I saw.

My first thought is always of light.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

I began to realize that the ca...

I began to realize that the camera sees the world differently than the human eye and that sometimes those differences can make a photograph more powerful than what you actually observed.

A lot of people think that when you have grand scenery, such as you have in Yosemite, that photography must be easy.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

I think landscape photography ...

I think landscape photography in general is somewhat undervalued.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

My interest in photography did...

My interest in photography did not begin with books or mentors, or with any burning desire to see the world through a camera. It evolved from an intense devotion to mountains and wilderness that eventually shaped all the parts of my life and brought them together.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

When the light is right and everything is working for me, I feel as tense as when making a difficult maneuver high on a mountain. A minute - and sometimes mere seconds - can make the difference between a superb image and a mundane one.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

Often when I walked alone in the mountains, I tried to make sense out of the two halves of my life. What went on in the city during the week seemed chaotic and unrelated to the events in my mountain world.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

I almost never set out to phot...

I 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.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

Memory selects single important images, just as the camera does. In that manner both are able to isolate the highest moments of living.

One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it...If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only too make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

You only get one sunrise and o...

You only get one sunrise and one sunset a day, and you only get so many days on the planet. A good photographer does the math and doesn't waste either.

There is no question that photography has played a major role in the environmental movement.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

There's no question that photo...

There'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.

Galen Rowell 45 quotes

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.

The landscape is like being there with a powerful personality and I'm searching for just the right angles to make that portrait come across as meaningfully as possible.

One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it.
