“What I mean by photographing as a participant rather than observer is that I'm not only involved directly with some of the activities that I photograph, such as mountain climbing, but even when I'm not I have the philosophy that my mind and body are part of the natural world.” ~ Galen Rowell

A VIP reception begins at 6 pm, program check-in starts at 6:45 pm, and the main program itself will run from 7:30 to 9:00 pm.

From May 1 through July 31, 2008 Mountain Light will present an exhibit of black-and-white cowboy portraits and a new series of abstract images by photographer Jay Dusard.
A self-taught photographer, Dusard has earned a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Pulitzer Prize nomination and a couple of book awards. Having studied with Ansel Adams and Frederick Sommer he established himself as not only a consummate creator of images, but one of the greatest black-and-white printmakers.
With work published, exhibited and in collections worldwide, Jay Dusard is best known for his black-and-white images of the working cowboys and landscapes of the North American West. Jay taught photography for seven years at Prescott College, Arizona, and has conducted workshops for over thirty years. In 1992, he was nominated for the Kodak World Image Award for Fine Art Photography.
Jay Dusard lives with his wife, Kathie, and their horses near Douglas, Arizona, where he finds time to punch cows and play jazz cornet.

While conducting research for specific projects, Mountain Light staff regularly search through Galen's archive of over two hundred thousand images. Occasionally we come across an original 35mm transparency that we feel is exceptional, and suitable to be added to our fine art print collection. This photo of an arctic fox taken while Galen was stalking polar bears in Canada is one such image.
This original slide was recently drum scanned and then digitally mastered by Mountain Light General Manager Justin Black, and is currently on display in our Gallery and available for purchase through our web site.
