In Memoriam of Gallen Photo

Photographer’s Note

One of my friends was sick when we're climbing to the Alpamayo's Camp 1... Before the snow, between the rocks we prepare a vivac at 5000m for him, other friend and me. He recovered so quick, and we were lucky with the sunset... was amazing... Was the sunset of 4th august 2002. Just in two seconds I took this pic... just two seconds, but enough to think in the best mountain photographer of the world, Gallen Rowell (he died august 11, 2002). The cover of his book Mountains of light is a cloud and two rocks in the shadow... When I look this pic I remember him, his pics, his wonderful pics... I took this pic one week before he died... a sign??? In Memoriam, Gallen.... Thank you for all your work

A great idea to dedicate a photo to this great outdoors photographer.
And your photo deserves praise also. I particularly like the thin slice of morning sun on the edge of the peak. Great saturation also. Well done.

Your mountain photos are all great! The views of summets at this altitude just are so awsome! Your note is fantastic and the pink cloud is just like his soul still watching the mountains! It's excellent!

Yes this is really in the spirit of Galen Rowell, his book is really the best I have ever read about photography.
A good capture here, just at the right moment.
Did you make it to the top?
