"In sixty practical yet inspirational essays drawn from his Outdoor Photographer column, and in 145 stunning color photographs, world-renowned photographer Galen Rowell explains and demonstrates the techniques he uses to transform light and color into vivid, uniquely expressive art. The illuminating essays in Galen Rowell's Vision are grouped into four chapters covering the fundamental aspects of the art of adventure photography as practiced by one of its masters: 'Goals,' transforming dreams into realities through personal vision; 'Preparations,' pushing the limits of equipment, film, and technique; 'Journeys,' merging visions with realities; 'Realizations,' communicating one's worldview through photography. Rowell also relates fascinating anecdotes from his extraordinary career, including ones about getting hit in the head by a peregrine falcon and nervously giving a slide show for the Dalai Lama. / Galen Rowell is the author of such acclaimed works as Bay Area Wild, My Tibet (with H. H. The Dalai Lama), and Mountain Light. An accomplished mountaineer, his work regularly appears in National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, and Sierra, among other publications.
