The Summer Stroll is Dirty Water Media's summer series, a walking tour of local shops and restaurants around New England. It comes from the team behind NESN's Dirty Water TV. The 2026 season opened Memorial Day weekend at The Landing in Newport, Rhode Island, with later stops including Chatham on Cape Cod.
Dune Jewelry founder Holly Daniels Christensen hosts, walking Newport's waterfront shops and restaurants. More than fifteen local businesses took part, and the day doubled as a fundraiser for the Potter League for Animals.
Featured in the segment: Dune Jewelry, The Landing, Colby Davis, The Black Dog, Kimberly Pucci, Bowen's Wharf, and Thames Street, among others.
I ran ENG camera for Dirty Water Media at The Landing and several other stops around town. I recorded and monitored sound off the handheld mic while shooting, then grabbed B‑roll at every stop so the editors could build each segment.
One day and a lot of ground to cover. My favorite kind of shoot.
When a shoot moves stop to stop with a host, I run camera and sound alone and keep up.

Between shoots I make photographs. That is where Dreaming of Fenway Park and the print shop came from.
