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.

A bit of a departure from last week’s photos, I know. Rarely, ever so rarely, I get myself a roll of color film and have some fun. Fire Island was crying out for color, so when we went back on Sunday, I loaded up and headed out. I took a lot of the same shots as I did the week before (they will probably pop up here sometime during the week), but they are so different in color.

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