Re: [APML] More on Galen Rowell ---

["Bert Katzung" <katzung1@attbi.com>]

For those interested in Galen Rowells' photography, his website gallery is
at:
http://www.mountainlight.com/gallery.html
Remarkable stuff! His philosophy/ethic regarding digital processing (at one

astro-imagers) can be found at:
http://www.mountainlight.com/articles/op699.html
Worthwhile reading, even though no reasonable astro-imager would object to
the use of Photoshop.
