More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The twentieth century's most celebrated adventure photographer, Galen Rowell, spent much of his life roaming the world with his camera, chronicling exotic locales on all seven continents. Yet he always returned to the land where he started out, both as an adventurer and a photographer: California's Sierra Nevada. Indeed, in the two years before his death in a 2002 plane crash, Rowell became increasingly focused on photographing the "Range of Light," producing some of the strongest images of his career.
Now the best of his lifetime's work in his "favorite place on earth" is gathered in this magnificent book, reproduced to the highest standards from digital masters of his 35mm frames. From the lofty cliffs and lush alpine meadows of Yosemite to the stark high desert of the Owens Valley, from the jagged High Sierra crest to the soft contours of the Eastside's Buttermilk Hills, Rowell captured the Sierra Nevada in his signature "dynamic landscapes," which combined an artist's vision, an adventurer's total access, and a peerless knowledge of optical phenomena in high and wild places. An introduction by Robert Roper traces Rowell's deep roots in the Sierra--a mountain realm he saw in ways no one else has, before or since.

A must have for your library
19 Nov 2011
Format:Hardcover
All I can say is Wow! Stunning photography. Spectacular colors. It makes you want to chuck it all and spend the rest of your life in the Sierra Nevadas chasing light. (If you're looking for more of a how to, pick up his Mountain Light book. Very well written, just the right amount of technical info, blended with great story telling. What a life!)

Rowell's Sierra Nevada
30 July 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The descriptions and pictures were great. I lived in Bishop in the past and the Eastern Sierra has a unique beauty. This photographer had a gallery there and was skilled in capturing the essence of the area with his photography.
Amazon does a superb job of delivering these books, carefully packed so they arrive in prime condition.

This is another excellent book by Galen Rowell. His photographs of the Sierra's brings them to life. He is today's Ansel Adams.
