Synopsis

Over 100 color photographs vividly portray the people and places of the southeastern Adirondack mountains as seen by Daniel Way, a Glens Falls family physician who has spent more than twenty years practicing rural medicine in such places as Bolton Landing, Warrensburg, North Creek, Indian Lake, Long Lake, Wells, and Speculator.
All in a Day's Work is a collection of Adirondack landscapes taken along Way's daily commute and of portraits of his patients taken in and around their homes. His patients' stories reveal the full spectrum of humor, sorrow, wonder, and stress of their lives - lives they have come to share with Way through the doctor-patient relationship.
These photographs include trappers, war heroes, matriarchs, lumbermen, Great Camp residents, hermits, and transplanted "flatlanders." Their stories and images will leave the reader enriched while enjoying views of Adirondack rivers, mountains, lakes, and forests.
