Author Description

"This book is Outdoors Maryland through the eyes of the people who know it best: Maryland photographers. We asked local photographers to submit their best photos, then asked Maryland residents to help us determine the cream of the crop to publish in these pages. We put the editing power in the hands of the people. Local people. People who know Maryland inside and out. Folks from all walks of life cast votes to help out editors select photos for publication. From 17,400 submissions to the pages of this book, 84,088 votes helped shape what you hold in your hands. It's a whole new approach to book publishing. It's a Maryland book by the photographers and residents of Maryland - for your delight!"--Jacket.
