Montauk

21Sep08

Some places feel so comfortable that you never want to leave. You find a group of people that comes together from all over the world in a remote location for one purpose. This weekend’s location was Montauk, the Eastern-most tip of Long Island, where a laid-back, island-style lifestyle fits perfectly and unapologetically with the residents and visitors who treasure it’s simplicity. This weekend’s people were a diverse mix of Jenny and Ken’s friends and family from 50 miles to 5000 miles away, some of whom became “long lost” friends after a round of drinks and some light conversation. This weekend’s purpose, of course, was their wedding . . . an all-at-once beautiful, fun, laid-back, romantic, partying, couldn’t-ask-for-better-weather kind of weekend. I am a lucky photographer :)


My MacBook’s hard drive got damaged in transit somehow, and I’m running all over the Northeast at the moment, so I’m doing the best I can at posting from the iPhone for the next few days. Lucky for me, I backed everything up right before I left :)


Message from keynote speaker shoemoney.com: “Survive Without Google.” Interesting.


When I lived in Connecticut for the first 17 years of my life, I tended to take everything about it for granted.  I never would have favored the scenic route over the highway, which is probably why, until two days ago, I had never experienced the Chester-Hadlyme Ferry, which has been in continuous operation since 1769.


I have tried, 2 other times to be exact.  And although I have successfully set up and managed the EditTeam company blog for exactly 6 months, I thought it would be time for me to try again.  This time, I’m REALLY going to try to keep it going.  We’ll see.  I have hope.  Me and Obama.  Hope.

I spent a lot of time alone over the past week, as I often do while I’m traveling, and it just got me thinking.  I do some neat things and go to interesting places and meet all kinds of cool people.  Why shouldn’t I share it?  You know . . . put it out there.  Let people comment about it.  We’ll see.
