So you’re a lucky Fourth of July Hamptons house guest looking for the perfect gift to show your host some love? Pick up a copy of “These Hamptons”, a gorgeous new coffee table book of photography featuring our favorite East End landmarks. In over 180 vivid color photos, this beautiful book provides a photographic exploration by Phillip Andrew Lehans of the lifestyles and landscape of Long Island’s famed East End.

A photographic mix of art and a documentary, These Hamptons epitomizes the diverse and eclectic nature of our historic locale. The varied methods of capture – film or digital, time-lapse or infrared -produce imagery that evokes a sense of nostalgia and provides a greater understanding of the Hamptons as a whole.

The hamlets and villages depicted include: Amagansett, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, East Marion, Greenport, Montauk, Napeague, Noyack, The Quogues, Sag Harbor, Sagaponack, Shelter Island, Southampton, Springs, Water Mill, and Westhampton. The revered past and unique history of the Hamptons carries through to today. Rich with art and culture, picturesque, and diverse, the Hamptons are ever evolving.
