The photography is a vast assortment of different perspectives of the Adirondacks. Large format prints where viewers can practically smell the pines, hikers proud to have reached summits, wildlife captured taking flight, disorienting reflections in calm lakes, and fires roaring under time-lapsed stars streaking across the sky.
