Welcome. Edgartown News was born from the simple fact that I have ink and Dektol in my veins and I need to write and photograph more than I need air or food, and from my love for this little town where I grew up and raised my family, the town I have left a few times but can't quite shake for good. Here you will find the wanderings and musings, photographs and commentary; the people, places, and happenings - past and present - of a small island town: my home town.

It's Fiddlehead Season

It's fiddlehead season - one of my favorite things about spring. Nope, I've never eaten one, and don't plan on it, but I do love the way they look. They change quickly - unfurling into a broad green fern leaf - so if you're not out and about in the woods and meadows at the right time you'll miss them. (and happy to see that the little Lumix is still delivering)

I'm behind on my posts, but it's for an honest reason - I've decided to put the past ten year's worth of Edgartown News into hard-copy and have been busy with InDesign, going over every post, from the beginning. Sometimes it feels like a daunting task, but it mostly is fun to get my hands on stuff I've written and photographed over the years. I'll have a few volumes for the coffee table when I'm done.

This project started when I inquired about having a blog-book company doing it and by the time I finished examining their efforts I realized I could do it myself, but better. Luckily, I have kept most of the photos for the blog in one handy location. I still have to do some copying, pasting, and laying out - almost, but not quite - like recreating the blog post. By the time I've put in a few hours of working in past tense I have little time or energy to put into recent photos and ideas.

I will get back to the present tense again sometime soon.
