April/May Exhibit: Galen Rowell "Retrospective"


Known as a prolific writer and adventurer, Galen Rowell's emergence as an internationally recognized photographer is marked by his first appearance in National Geographic in 1974. In the years to follow, Galen would make numerous contributions to the publication, as well as publishing 18 books of his own. His works document his travels, offering keen insight into the societal and environmental impact being wrought on people and lands around the globe. In 2002 Galen's life was cut short when a private plane carrying him, his wife Barbara, and two friends crashed near the town of Bishop, where the Rowells made their home.
