 LaBastille's photos were mostly taken in upstate New York and show a variety of subjects, including natural beauty and wildlife, environmental problems, urban sprawl, and everyday life in small towns.In her later years, LaBastille began spending less and less time at her mountain retreat.In "Woodswoman IV" and in an interview with the "Cornell Alumni Magazine", LaBastille noted that rising global temperatures had transformed her lakeside property from a year-round home into a seasonal retreat.
