Cascade Summit in Adirondacks, New York, USA
When people think of New York, most think it is all one big city. It’s rare that people know anything other than the city, let alone what people call “upstate NY.” But there is much more than the city, the Adirondack’s is filled with beautiful mountains and forests. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

A little known fact about where you live? “The Adirondack Park spans 6.1 million acres and is larger than the state of Massachusetts. In fact, several National Parks could fit inside the Blue Line (the line on a map that designates the outline of the park), including Glacier, Yosemite, the Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon.”

Where is your favorite place in the world? This is a tough one. I would really like to plan a trip to Europe, but so far Yosemite always seems to come to mind.
Who are your three favorite photographers? It varies with what inspires me at the time. Lately I’ve been enjoying Kevin Russ‘s photos though.
