I don't think he was a pompous twit. I think he was a darn fine
photographer
with a unique vision and style. Someone not easy to dismiss and someone
who
will be long remembered by many people.
I don't understand why anyone would find him pompous, let alone a twit. I
admit to never having met the guy, but he certainly didn't cloud his
photography with philosophical new age mumbo jumbo and mysticism as often
seen when other, less talented (outdoor)photographers trying to explain
their "art". Rowell based his vision of sound scientific facts and he
basically tried to make pleasing and effective images with no mysteries
involved.
