I grew up in southern New York, but spent the summers and winters in the Adirondacks, where I discovered my love for taking pictures. At first it was a very personal connection about me capturing nature. I took the pictures for me. But as the years went on and my skills improved, I decided to share my images with everyone. This book is the first of what I hope to be many; after all I have thousands of photographs in my files. I hope you find the colors and images just as awe-inspiring as I did when I took them.
