I love this gallery and the work of Galen Rowell. His untimely death was a tragedy. His work is very impressive and the gallery is nicely laid out for viewing his work. This is a DO NOT miss site in Bishop!
Galen Rowell was a special photographer and an inspiration to my husband. We kept our expectations low and were blown away by the quality and size of the gallery. Many of Galen's most famous photos were displayed, some with personal stories. You can purchase unsigned prints in several different size and most of his books. His wife Barbara's work was also represented and they display the work of other nature photographers. We could feel his presence and it triggered great memories of the photo shooting trips that my husband and I have taken. Please take the time to visit and appreciate a true artist.
for any photographer a must. I loved it there. The gallery has great photographs and great books. What I liked as well was that you can look around without being bothered by sales people. You can really enjoy the photography.
Breath-taking (and some even jaw-dropping) photos in a very pleasant space. If you've not seen this photographer's work, you should.
A beautiful gallery with Galen Rowell and his wife's photography. We first saw some of his works at the Creek Side Imn and sought out the gallery to see more. He was a National Geographic photographer so there are photo from all over the world. Some of the most spectacular are of the local areas.
Galen and Barbra Rowell are superb photographers and this store is a gem of a store to visit while in Bishop. We have always enjoyed seeing their superb photography and usually buy the calendars and other items as well. It will inspire those who like to take pictures how magic this area is.
More than an homage to it's founder, the world-famous Galen Rowell, this gem of the Eastern Sierra is a focal point (no pun intended) for anyone slightly and deeply interested in fine art photography. The gallery is an oasis isolating the visitor from the pulse of high desert living; the photography is unbelievably beautiful with collections of not only Rowell's work but that of many of the best landscape photographers.
I was a fan of Galen Rowell and pleasantly surprised to find a gallery of his work during an unexpected stay in Bishop. It is easy to find and visit as it is layed out so you aren't stumbling over other visitors. His photos are beautiful and timeless.
This photographic gallery is a must see for anyone who appreciates wilderness, wildlife, and nature photography.The works of legendary Galen and Barbara Rowell (who died tragically in 2002) are, of course, prominently displayed.The staff at Mountain Light carry on their fine tradition. There is always a featured photographic artist, as well as images from selected others. Always with striking and breathtaking beauty & quality.There are many items available for purchase. And they hold workshops regularly -- check out their website.
I had the privilege of meeting Galen and Barbara Rowell not long before their tragic deaths. To put it mildly, Mountain Light Gallery is an essential on a level equal to seeing the Sierra Nevada itself.If you can make only one stop in Bishop, make it Mountain Light Gallery.
