Died in a plane crash (also see his gallery).
For those not familiar, Galen Rowell is one of the most respected nature photographers, and this photo stopped me dead in my tracks when I first saw it published in National Geographic many years ago.
Aw,crap. This is the first I’ve heard about it. And his wife died too…that reeks.
“Stop and stare” was also my first reaction to Rowell’s images. I will miss him.
Anyone who visits Yosemite National Park as often as I do is familiar with Galen Rowell’s work.
The Yosemite mailing list told us about his death (along with his wife’s death) today. This is very sad indeed.
