This is a site about loving mountains,
not about conquering them.
This is a site about living life on the edge.
This is not a site about man's vanities;
there is no place for such a thing into the
mountains, or you may not have the
opportunity to be back again.
This is a site about successes as well as about
defeats.
This is a site of thoughts and images from
high places.
I am a 26 years old mountaineer and outdoor photographer
born in Cepari (that's at the feet of Fagarasului mountains)
and for the time
being, based in Bucharest, Romania.
Reaching higher and higher... because climbing mountains Outside is climbing mountains Inside. |
“The mountain is to Alex Gavan more than just a
photo subject. To him, the mountain is the best, the
simplest and the most direct way to self – discovery
and personal reflection. In his quest for the stunning
light of dusk and dawn on top of snow-covered ridges,
Alex has learnt that the respect for what you do,
for your each and every action, can sometimes mean
everything, even down to the difference between
life and death. Although still very young, Alex Gavan
has gained sight of a secret which he gladly shares:
sometimes, the ascent to the highest summits leads
you to that one place we are all looking for, but
which proves to be so hard to find – one’s true self.”
(Harris Wallmen, Editor in Chief of Photomagazine in
Interview with Alex Gavan on the September 2005
Issue).
