Remembering Galen
"Galen introduced me to the art of light and has been a source of inspiration for me not only in my photographic pursuits but also in how to live and respect the gift of life on this earth. I will miss his blend of supreme technical expertise in photography and climbing and genuine, candid style. His was a light that will forever shine brightly in my view."
-- Bryce M. Payne, photographer
David Brower's son, Ken Brower offers a tribute to Galen Rowell.
