Susan Ranjel submits Galen Avery Rowell

Punkatassett Woods, Concord (Massachusetts, 1991)

Galen Avery Rowell was a noted wilderness photographer and climber. Born in Oakland, California, he became a full-time photographer in 1972. He was never formally trained as a photographer. He pioneered a new kind of photography in which he considered himself a participant in the scenes that he photographed. The use of color in these landscapes makes them appealing.
