" Nate Simms' fine book of photographs is an excellent reference for those interested in understanding where we have come from and where we may be going. Mostly, they serve to remind us that the place we call home must be something worth caring about. " - James Howard Kunstler, Author of The Geography of Nowhere

" You'll never look at Rensselaer County the same way again after seeing it through the camera of Nate Simms.... I've been to Grafton Lakes State Park before, but have never come across the verdant, haunting beauty Simms uncovers. " - C.J. Lais Times Union
