About this Quote

This quote by Galen Rowell talks to the power of movie and photography to record minutes in a manner that the human eye can not. He is recommending that film can catch moments in such a way that is more effective than what we observe with our own eyes.

In this way, film can record minutes that are more effective than what we observe with our own eyes. This quote speaks with the power of film and photography to record moments that are more powerful than what we observe with our own eyes.
