Montauk

The last time I visited Montauk was in February 2006. It was a memorable trip, for many reasons: losing my camera, unseasonably warm weather, an epic train ride, beautiful scenery, gavin marley, running from the law, beach fires, freezing at night and beach football. Happy days!

Last Thursday presented the opportunity to go back to Montauk. My friend Nate is in town, and his friend’s girlfriends sister, Lauren – a photography student – was keen to go there to take some pictures for a school project. Nate kindly volunteered his services as chauffeur, and I saw the opportunity to get out of the city on a pleasant, Spring day. Lauren’s friend Tyler, a Long Island native also came along, and he proved to be an invaluable resource. It turned out that we saw very little of Montauk and its surroundings back in 2006. With a hire car, we were able to explore much further, from the Hamptons all the way out to the lighthouse on the end of the South Fork. I had a really enjoyable day.
