It may still be August (just barely), but temperatures have dropped and the air is starting to feel crisper (yay). I do have a love-hate relationship with summer, so the end of it always feels bittersweet. I had the chance to get out east one last time – in partnership with Lincoln – and it was a perfect way to spend the last weekend in August. It was filled with early morning sunset chasing, some horseback riding (I think my legs are still sore), a Ben Harper performance at The Surf Lodge, and photographing Montauk's beaches and its beachgoers all holding on to summer.

I'm excited to see what Fall brings. Perhaps some trips upstate in a Lincoln? ;)
