"Goals," transforming dreams into realities through personal vision
"Preparations," pushing the limits of equipment, film, and technique
"Journeys," merging visions with realities
"Realizations," communicating one's worldview through photography
Rowell also relates fascinating anecdotes from his extraordinary career, including ones about getting hit in the head by a peregrine falcon and nervously giving a slide show for the Dalai Lama.
