The Marc Adamus/Galen Rowell PSA, text version, courtesy of MarcAdamusLIES.com:
REST IN PEACE, GALEN ROWELL.
Marc Adamus will not be allowed to continue riding on your coattails & eventually declaring that he is the new “Galen”.
We hope that wherever you are, you can now find peace.
The days of fraud, lies, & exaggeration are OVER

The Marc Adamus/Galen Rowell PSA, courtesy of MarcAdamusLIES.com:
Rest in Peace, Galen; you are missed
Remember how Marc Adamus took advantage of Galen Rowell’s name by launching his website on August 11th, and saying “rest in peace Galen” on a banner?

Photographer’s statement, front page of MarcAdamusLIES.com:
Marc Adamus never knew Galen Rowell. I find it offensive that Marc would claim to all but have been a close friend of Galen. I knew him personally. Galen would have been shocked by the way his name’s been manipulated to benefit Marc Adamus. I would say that may he rest in peace, but I doubt that’s possible until his name is cleared from the connection to Marc Adamus: Personal friend of Galen Rowell.
On this day, let us remember the great adventurer and photographer Galen Rowell. His contributions to photography were substantial, and we all miss his insights.
On this day, let us also scorn those who would ride on the coat tail’s of Galen’s memory & reputation to stake out their own career. People such as Marc Adamus are a shameful reflection of our fame-obsessed world.
Marc went as far as to launch his new website on August the 11th, 2008, claiming to do so in memory of Galen. With a large “rest in peace Galen” banner across the top, Marc established that he had entered the room and would take over from Galen, now. Here’s a screenshot from his news link for the THUGS & MORONS who deny he orchestrated this launch:
As decent people, we all have an obligation to fight this sort of cynical baiting & opinion-molding. Don’t let Marc get away with his years-long propaganda project, an effort that would have made Goebbels proud!

The “No Criticism of Marc Allowed” PSA, Text Version:
Length of the Lake Ann, WA, trail as officially determined by the USFS: 4.1 miles

Fraud, Phony, and user of Fuzzy Math?
You bet. This is Marc Adamus, after all.
STOP. THINK. REASON.

Not knowing the work of Marc Adamus is a sin
Watch out! NPN members who don’t praise Marc (peace be upon Him) regularly risk some serious consequences. We’ve used Darren White in this example because he’s recently had the temerity to actually criticize Marc (the nerve!!):
MORE LIES from Marc Adamus, this time discovered in old material on Photosig.com, a site he abandoned due to being unable to control opinions and comments on his images (typical Marc Adamus style…if you can’t receive 10 out of 10 from every viewer, cut & run like a coward).
Anyway, check this out:
First, Marc starts off his post with an epic amount of bullshit, making this relatively easy hike sound like some epic Himalayan trek. He even throws in gratuitous lies about having a lot of experience hiking “off-trail” in the North Cascades (laughter).
Then a concerned Photosig member calls out some of his shit, and Marc goes into the familiar defensive pattern we’re all familiar with (ie, I don’t remember what I’ve said in the past, I do what I want, etc etc). You can clearly tell that Marc is bristling at having been exposed, and he’s stomping all over this fellow. You can also tell that Marc expects his words to be the FINAL words on the matter, and they are until we uncovered this little scandal.
More importantly, he added another LIE in his little “tirade”. He stated that the hike was “about 5 miles in”. This is a RIDICULOUSLY transparent lie! The official hike distance is 4.1 miles (USFS, Lake Ann trail).
Now, there’s no question about how long the trail is. Marc could have just said “4.1 miles”, which is the exact distance to the lake. None of us know how 4.1 miles turns into 5 miles, but there you have it. A heavily used trail to a frequently visited lake, practically described as being in the middle of some Alaskan wilderness. Frankly, we’re surprised that he didn’t get more flack over this sort of garbage. Also notice how several more people legitimately called out his bogus composition, but Marc brushed them off, basically explaining that he spent hours studying the landscape to find the absolute BEST comp (remember that once Marc photographs anything, his images become the Gold Standard for that location).
More bullshit and more LIES from the Prince of Lying. Another day in the life of Marc Adamus!
Due to fears of reprisals from THUGS, IDIOTS, & MORONS, we suggest that all fans and supporters post as “anonymous” or under assumed names from now on. The mood of the THUGS & MORONS has become quite ugly, with several threats of violence made in the last several hours.
MarcAdamusLIES.com appreciates your support, but please DON’T compromise yourselves by opening your life to indiscriminate slander and attacks from THUGS & MORONS, by revealing your real names. The first action of a THUG or MORON is to google your name to find any dirt he or she can. Be safe, post anonymously!
And to the THUGS & MORONS, well, you cowards already post anonymously, despite pretending to be innocent victims who were simply minding your own business. No one believes your Marc Adamus worshipping nonsense anymore! Grow up; grow a pair!
