ERIC FITZGERALDLandscape Photography Worth Working For
 Eric Fitzgerald is a fifth generation Vermonter, father of two wonderful daughters and works in marketing and advertising. He enjoys snowboarding, surfing, hiking, exercise and a good book. He has many interests, and photography is one of his cornerstones. He enjoys shooting landscapes and natural beauty. His mission is to hike all of the mountains in Vermont and photograph their allure. "Hiking has set me free from daily grind and has challenged my photography," he says. "Exploring the backcountry of Vermont has helped me discover a good photo is something I physically challenge myself to obtain. Exploring these mountains has also made me realize how much I have missed and take for granted living here."
