Glorious and relaxing Fourth of July here in South Jersey. Can't believe this is New Jersey. The southern Coast of New Jersey is new to me. Growing up on the East Coast in Connecticut my beach memories are Long Island Sound, boat trips to Block Island and other family trips to Martha's Vineyard, Maine and that's about it.
My hosts, Mark and Betty were truly amazing. In there beach house housing about 14 adults who traveled from California, Pennsylvania, Manhattan and Virginia to what has become an annual vacation pilgrimage. On arriving in this spectacular beach house we found the door unlocked for our arrival because everyone was enjoying they sun, waves and beers on the beach. I had wondered about internet access. But my curiosity was quelled when I spotted an Airport Extreme sitting next tot he cable box in the entertainment center. As it turns out Mark was quite the Mac fan and totally into photography. He even has the latest Canon digital SLR, the 10 DS. I've had my eyes on one of these for the last two months since its release. I had the opportunity to play with it and confirm my wanton desire to add this to my digital and electronic gadget arsenal.
Another visitor, Phil, turned out to be a great chef and a fellow Canon S400 owner. The fireworks shots you see on this page were shot with the S400 from the Deck of Mark & Betty's.
We're packing and readying our trip south to Washington DC. Two days till Supernova. Monday night kick off in Old Town Alexandria for the Joi Ito party.
Splendid time playing with my nieces in the surf and on the beach. Relinking with old friends and making new. So cool.
Supernova is next. Stay tuned.
