Smile, breathe, dance, write, edit, share, photograph, go for long runs, swim, sail, speedboat, jet ski, renew yourself, make an expensive purchase, laugh really loud, make new friends, meditate and be genuine. Never be afraid to express how your soul truly feels. Our relationships with summer are as varied as our relationships with ourselves. Some experiences are a quick fling. Others etch themselves into our psyches forever. As adults we tend to revisit what we have loved most because we find comfort in the repetition. Summer can be interpreted in many ways, but it takes special skill to convey a universal feeling within an image. Water is the thread that connects my joy of summer. And I hope that by looking at our happy, active images taking place right now you can wander, wide-eyed, through the tides near you. When we are on the water at our summer home on the East Coast, whether to sail or watch the glorious sunrise, we are going back from whence we came. Summer is not only a destination but also a new way of looking at things. Summer enables us to relax, soak in the sun, float, swim, water ski, read a captivating book, have an ice cold drink, watch the waves and make a toast to an outstanding family and friends. The adventures on land and water continue.
