This is the same lake from yesterday’s photo. I think I prefer this one—not only is it technically a better photograph, but it’s more interesting, too.

Sometimes you just have to go for the easy, pretty shots; going on vacation will do that to you. Now that I am back in the heat, traffic, and grime of Brooklyn, expect some grittier photographs next week!

Sunset Beach is not a beach, but a hotel on the beach on Shelter Island. This is a small lake just off to the side of the hotel. MaryAnne has a few shots of me paddling a rowboat across, because she didn’t want to get in the boat.

This is the last photo from Fire Island for a little while. I hope you enjoyed them!

Thanks to everyone who came to the show at Design Within Reach last night! It was a blast. If you didn’t get a chance to make it, the show will remain up until August 14.

This is on Watch Hill. The mosquitoes are the size of helicopters, I am covered in red welts this week.
