Fire Island, New York
July 1, 2006 | 6:26 p.m.

A half-dozen of us had been spending the 4th of July in Fire Island. Our second night there I caught this snapshot as we walked from the community of Cherry Grove over to uber-gay section of the island, The Pines. To get between the two villages one must traverse a wide swath of sand known as the Meatrack. So as we made our ways across the island, we shed our flip-flops and dipped our toes in the sand.

This shot was completely random. I just point and shot. It shows my friends Zach (or Dan -- they look identical from behind) and Ethan looking as if they'd stepped into a J. Crew catalog.
