Shinnecock Summer Festival

Yesterday's Lobster Bake at Shinnecock Cultural Center and Museum. Lobsters, Crabs, Clams, Potatoes and Corn cook on a bed of seaweed. This was part of the Summer Festival.
A family on holiday from Susex, England (South of London) enjoy their first Lobster dinner. Justin Degan captures it all with his three chip digital Panasonic Camcorder.

Fire Island

I spent last Friday visiting Ocean Beach on Fire Island. The reporter, Allen Salkin (author of Festivus, The Holiday For The Rest Of Us), is doing a Summer share there. Spent the whole day, did some swimming between taking photos, and caught the 10:25 pm ferry back. If I didn't have an early assignment on Saturday I could have slept over. One of the sharers, Pia Catton, is a staff reporter for the NY Sun.

Lawn Bowls

Behind the Maxwell House Coffee Sign

This was a spectacular blue cornflake, 4th of July morning back in (I'm guessing) 96. My top floor apartment, across the street from the Maxwell House Coffee factory, could get Very hot. The roof was a good escape. Overnight it could actually feel cold if there was a good breeze blowing off of the Hudson River.

Steel Yard Sunset

The sun sets on what's left of the Bethlehem Steel Machine Shop. This was in 1995, twelve years after Bethlehem Steel sold its Hoboken Shipyard. A Kings Supermarket and the Shipyard Condos now stand on the site.

Your Novel Here
