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.

Hurricane Irene, Edgartown, Massachusetts

Hurricane Irene, Edgartown, Massachusetts from Sara Piazza on Vimeo.

Okay, I think we are officially calling Irene a tropical storm at this point.

And yes, better safe than sorry, but I think Irene was way over-hyped. And what about all that Code Red business - I think I'm smart enough to find emergency info if needed; no need to pipe this stuff into my home.

Here's some footage from today, my first attempt at cutting and pasting and adding (royalty-free) music; enjoying this "snow day" in August, a rare Sunday at home. It's a bit long, and could be tweaked and nudged here and there, but I think I'm at least getting the hang of the tools and the process (and repeat after me, "Sara is not going to get into movie-making...").
