dawn to dusk photographs of Fire Island, New York, a sparkling beach spot on the Atlantic Ocean. Commentaries enhance the viewing by describing in detail what makes each image unique and remarkable. Surprisingly, this collaborative work began as the result of a casual meeting on a photography web site for the exchange of ideas and comments. The two authors, Mildred Alpern and Robert Tallent, thus embarked on a long running and on-going interchange in cyberspace.

Their separate introductions outline the setting for the thirty images in this book, describe the ways in which their collaboration developed as a shared experience of image taking and viewing, and provide the reader with sharp insights into ways of looking at all photographs.
