Ted Delano, who calls himself a “digital cartographer,” has founded an online guide to the Hamptons — both as a Web site and an app — that he claims, surprisingly, has not been done anywhere else. According to his research, no one has yet created a “magazine quality” visual forum in cyberspace to showcase local businesses that “maps an entire community and is hand-curated.”

    “I’m working on an aesthetic level that’s stronger than what I’ve seen elsewhere,” he said of Imagery Hamptons. “It’s a passion project. I wanted to create a digital platform as beautiful as the East End.” And so he has.

    Having launched in 2012, the digital guide features more than 100 businesses in categories including food, services, shops, nature, and culture. Think: 18 Bay, a Shelter Island restaurant; Lynn’s Hula Hut, a tiki bar in Montauk; Neoteric, a gallery in Amagansett; Khanh Sports, a surf shop in East Hampton; Christy’s, an art and antiques store in Sag Harbor, and Collette, a designer consignment shop in Southampton, all of whom pay him a few hundred dollars a year. He also features such cultural icons as the Parrish Art Museum, the Watermill Center, and LongHouse Reserve, at no charge. 

    Some clients, including John Salibello, a Bridgehampton antiques store, and Marie Eiffel, a fashion boutique in Sag Harbor, have also opted for videos featuring their businesses.

    “The guide is obviously great for people who are not familiar with the region,” said Mr. Delano. But, for people who live here year round and frequent the same 10 or 15 places, it’s a great way to branch out. “The most common line from viewers is ‘The photos make me want to go there.’ ”

    Janet O’Brien, a caterer, was one of the first prospects he approached to appear in the guide. “I was very impressed,” said Ms. O’Brien. “The visuals were well portrayed, I could see that he had the right eye.” So, not only did she let him feature her business in the guide, but she also asked him to design her Web site, “Something I’d been wanting to do for 10 years.”

    A huge component of what makes the guide so appealing are the images by Jason Penney, a professional photographer with a house on Shelter Island who numbers among his clients Pottery Barn, Target, Martha Stewart, and Ricky Martin. Mr. Delano said he is thrilled to work with “a photographer with 20-odd years of experience. . . . Jason can walk into a restaurant or store and see exactly the shots we need and know exactly how to make them look good.”

    To shoot the photos for Ms. O’Brien’s site, the trio set up a studio in Mr. Delano’s house in Bridgehampton where, with the help of two of Ms. O’Brien’s assistants, they cooked and styled food, then shot it.

     After creating that site, Mr. Delano morphed his company into a full-fledged digital marketing agency, with a business partner, Kevin Hageman, doing Web site development, social media marketing, and local search optimization for such clients as Amagansett Square, the Stephen Talkhouse, and Max Eicke, a Bridgehampton furniture designer.

    “By offering digital marketing services, we are able to create consistent brand voices across the entire digital ecosystem: local, social, and mobile,” said Mr. Hageman.

    Ms. O’Brien’s site now comes up in a Google search on page 2. “Before that she didn’t exist,” said Mr. Delano, who searched as far as page 35 before giving up.

    Mr. Delano “is very sophisticated,” said Ms. O’Brien. “He’s traveled so much, which adds to his sensibility.”

    After graduating from the Ross School, Mr. Delano attended St. Louis University in Madrid, where he studied international communications. He then moved to Chile for two years before returning to Madrid, where he worked on a network of art-world Web sites, the two largest being VideoArtWorld.com and ImageryDimension.com, from which Imagery Hamptons found its roots.

    The Imagery Hamptons app has so far generated 3,000 downloads, “a big number,” he said, considering that he has held back on major promotion until he had a fuller guide. The reason he says the number is so high is that “we are the first to come up in the app store if you look up ‘Hamptons.’ ”

    He will launch a full marketing campaign next summer, with help from his “media collaborators” such as Neoteric and Guild Hall, who have promised to help promote the guide to their members in “varying degrees.” LongHouse Reserve, for one, “will be pushing it out to all their subscribers.” And, thanks to his affiliation with the art-world sites, he has access to 120,000 of their subscribers.

    While in the future he envisions “the possibility” that he can take the concept to other locales, for now he’s content to focus on his Hamptons prototype and “keep making it better and better.”

   Annette Azan-Baker, a fashion industry veteran who lives in Sag Harbor and North Carolina, has embarked on a new career, and is blazing through such uncharted territory that she hasn’t found a name yet for the service she performs. While, in essence, she guides clients through redesigning their homes and wardrobes, she doesn’t want to be called an interior decorator or personal shopper or image consultant or any of those other limiting names.

    She may borrow elements from these callings, but they don’t define her very different approach. While waiting for inspiration to hit, she is temporarily calling herself a “stylist.” She played briefly with the title “style medium,” rejecting it as too out there. Yet, that may be an accurate description of her method. In her intuitive approach, she said she reads the energy of her clients “to create a balance between their internal and external worlds.”

    What she has found is that many people live in houses and dress in clothes that no longer serve who they are. People, she believes, are “always evolving,” and that green sweater or oversize armoire that may have fit into your life a decade ago is not germane to your present journey. “I loved to read that Oprah is redoing all her homes,” she said. “She found that her external environment didn’t match who she is today, and that’s exactly what I do.”

    Ms. Azan-Baker is flexible, sometimes working with a client’s house or wardrobe, sometimes both. But in either case, her process starts by getting to know the person’s life goals and philosophy, all the while touring their surroundings and taking in “all the visuals” that inform that person’s world, an unfolding that could take four or five hours.

    Her next step is guiding the client through “releasing” the things that are no longer relevant in their lives. “Many people have ‘precious’ items in the attic. If it’s so precious why keep it in a box?” If she ascertains that an item really is meaningful for its owner, it is given a “place of honor.” If not, it’s discarded to allow the person to “create an environment in which they can expand,” she said.

    “There are pieces from our past that are important,” but there is also a danger of living too much in the past. This is not always an easy process. “I have clients with problems releasing anything that was their great-grandmother’s. If everything is precious, then nothing is precious.”

    Ms. Azan-Baker’s explorations take her on a profound journey of discovery into the lives of her clients. It is her job to hold up a mirror and ask them to trust her judgment as she directs them through changes. Not everyone can do this, but the exotic-looking stylist exudes a confidence-building serenity and assuredness.

    The solutions to clients’ problems are often simple fixes, but difficult for people to see for themselves. “Some people want to entertain, but they don’t have a large enough table,” she said by way of example. Or a single woman “with nothing happening in the relationship sector” might be sharing her bed with her dog, therefore not making room for a mate. She had one client with “sad pictures of lonely women” decorating her house. Her advice: Replace them with images of lovers. “That brings the right energy in there.”

    Her goal is to help people get to where they want to in their lives by keeping their external and internal worlds in sync. “You can’t make changes internally by doing the same thing the same way,” she said. And external changes will grease the wheels of change. Ms. Azan-Baker brings elements of the Chinese concept feng shui and the Indian concept of vastu to her practice.

    During her redesign of a client’s space she addresses their entire aesthetic from scents and visuals to audio and touch. “I want them to be in a bubble of happiness that gives them the best opportunity to expand.”

    With a natural gift for intuiting people’s needs, Ms. Azan-Baker was also nurtured by a mother, with Jamaican and Cuban antecedents, who was a psychic and owned a metaphysical bookstore. But Ms. Azan-Baker at first followed a path in fashion, working for Dianne Benson after graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology and later managing the Urban Zen stores in New York and Sag Harbor for Donna Karan. When styling a person’s clothing, she looks at not just how they look, “but I watch to see how they move and if they are feeling comfortable . . . are they ready for it?”

    She outfits them with the basics for layering “that make everything else work.” And then she finds them that “fantastic piece” that will give them a look that any Parisian would envy.

    “My biggest joy is seeing how lives are changed,” she said, adding that her mission is to make people feel they can go beyond where they thought they could go.

    And, she believes, “There’s a name out there waiting for me.”

    If you picture the Hamptons Organic Beauty Bus as a spa on wheels, you would be almost right. Conceived and operated by Karen Clement, a former model born in Grenada, the idea for the enterprise is to deliver beauty services directly to the client’s home. The “bus,” actually a converted Ford Windstar sedan, is painted with a purple live bar code that, if scanned with a cellphone, takes potential customers directly to Ms. Clement’s Web site. The vehicle is used for delivery only, and is filled with the white cotton robes, candles, bamboo fronds, shells, and other paraphernalia Ms. Clement uses to create a spa-like ambience wherever she goes.

    “We are the Hamptons’ first and only fully organic and mobile spa,” she said.

    It makes sense, after all, that it’s more relaxing to have a massage, let’s say, by the fire in your own bedroom than in an impersonal salon, or to get a mani-pedi by your pool. If you want to be pampered, why not do it at home? At least that’s the thinking behind Ms. Clement’s business, which she launched at the beginning of summer.

     Besides convenience, Ms. Clement claims that, what she calls her “green glam squad,” offers affordable prices, despite a $50 “travel and set up fee” — by allowing clients to avoid traffic, potential babysitting fees, and “high salon prices.” Certainly her summer clients didn’t appear to mind her prices, which range from a manicure at $35 to a 90-minute massage at $185.

    Her focus is on providing chemical-free treatments, including organic waxing and makeup application. She offers the usual beauty treatment along with other more esoteric procedures including “instant nail,” which she said is a “revolutionary nail polish strip application,” and “instant hair,” clip-on hair extensions.

    Ms. Clement does not perform any of the treatments herself, but rather “coordinates” a stable of licensed professionals such as Janet DiBartolo, a massage therapist, with more than 16 years of experience. Ms. DiBartolo also specializes in reflexology, into which she incorporates a deep foot massage.

    Her services are not just for summer clientele. “Now is the season for spray tans,” said Ms. Clement. She uses a botanically sourced Australian product made with cacao, “not available in the U.S.,” and works a lot of “tanning parties” or what she calls “girls’ nights in.”

    The business got off to a slowish start in June, but picked up dramatically in July and August, when she collaborated with a yacht company to provide “spa charters” for onboard facials and massages, to which she would add a healthy dose of organic wine.

    Now that it is wedding season, business continues apace. She is offering fall-winter discounts. For “black Friday” she is booked to accompany a bus of 50 women heading off to a mall in Connecticut for a day of shopping and luxury.

    Ms. Clement, who worked in retail in East Hampton at Biba and Malia Mills, and managed Salon Xavier in Sag Harbor before venturing out on her own, may not yet offer services in her own bus, but, she said, that is definitely in her future plans.

   Williamsburg, the Brooklyn neighborhood that exploded in popularity in the late 1990s, has come a long way — literally. As hopeful residents were priced out of its traditional borders, adjacent neighborhoods filled up and gentrified, pushing the neighborhood’s uber-cool phenomenon in every direction but west, where new high-rise buildings stop at the East River’s edge.

    A dozen or so years ago, the Surf Bar opened in a tiny storefront, its Ditch Plain inspiration impossible to overlook. Soon, it relocated to a larger space, where steaming clam chowder and beer are served in an outdoor garden complete with sand.

    In 2007 in Williamsburg, Chris Gentile and a partner opened Mollusk, a hard-goods store serving New York-based surfers. Early last year, he launched Pilgrim Surf + Supply, a store situated, like its predecessor, a stone’s throw from the river.

    Last month, Pilgrim Surf + Supply opened in Amagansett Square, at the site formerly occupied by Innersleeve Records, which moved to Long Wharf in Sag Harbor. Here, Mr. Gentile and Eric Degenhardt, the company’s “manager extraordinaire,” have established an inviting and personable shop for the surfing and outdoor lifestyle.

    “There are a lot of surfers in New York, transplants from another wave-rich land — Australia, California, Hawaii,” Mr. Gentile said of his Brooklyn customers. He had long been enamored with the South Fork, he said, as it reminded him of his native Rhode Island, where his uncle, Lou Mazza, was among a tiny handful of surfing pioneers in the early 1960s.

    “I always loved the idea of moving out here and having a shop, but the one thing I was very cautious of was making sure that we were going to contribute something that wasn’t already there. There’s a lot of surf shops in the area, great shops that I have a lot of respect for, but nobody was really addressing the things that we were addressing in Brooklyn.”

    That, he explained, is Pilgrim’s mission: “My goal is to find things from other places in the world that are totally relevant to the surf culture that exists in New York, but didn’t necessarily come from that. That’s how Pilgrim evolved — along with the boards.”

    The boards, standing tall in the late-summer sunshine, were made by the sport’s giants, among them Jim Phillips, Josh Hall, Gary Hanel, Marc Andreini, Renny Yater, Tyler Warren, Brian Bulkley, Ellis Ericson, Fineline, Mandala, Hydrodynamica, and Anderson.

    “They’re all hand-shaped, beautifully crafted boards from some of the best shapers in the world,” Mr. Gentile said. “It’s almost like a folk tradition that’s been passed down from master to apprentice. There’s a lot of culture embedded in that, and, in a way, I feel like our shop and what we do is gate-keeping that culture, making sure that’s something that’s passed on to the customer.”

    The shop enjoys a personal connection with Mr. Phillips, a renowned craftsman of surfboards, that stretches back to Rhode Island and Mr. Gentile’s uncle. “He’s from California, but would come to Rhode Island in the ’60s and shape his boards. Jim ran into a family friend who had a boatyard and then he met my uncle and some of his friends. They had a nice little run of making those boards there.”

    Mr. Phillips, said Mr. Degenhardt, “is one of the best board shapers of all time, just judging from the boards that I’ve seen come through here.”

    “It’s not like you’re just coming in and buying a surfboard,” Mr. Gentile said of the shop. “You’re buying a handcrafted object that somebody spent their lifetime evolving. That goes for everything: The brands that we bring in here have a level and a layer of social responsibility that they bring to it, and are built really well and with a lot of passion.”

    Clothing, accessories, and cosmetics on display demonstrate the global mind-set of its proprietor: Industry of All Nations, Norse Projects, Armor lux, Nomadic Thread Society, ace&jig, Bantu, Stanley & Sons, Battenwear, Makr Carry Goods, Juniper Ridge, Summer Bummer, Retro Super Future, Salt, and Ferens are represented, along with ubiquitous brands like Vans and Patagonia.

    “Oddly, a lot of the people we have these brands from are surfers too, but they’re not making surfwear, necessarily,” Mr. Gentile said.

    A table of art books, he said, “is a huge part of what we do. They’re sometimes a bit non sequitur, but I’m a visual artist, and we have a lot of friends that are visual artists. There are a lot of parallels between what it is to be an artist and what it is to surf, and there’s a lot of humility in both.”

    The business is also collaborating on a wetsuit with a Japanese company bearing the ironic name Rash, and will launch its own clothing line next year, also in collaboration with a Japanese partner, Beams.

    “We’re selling their line, too, Beams Plus,” said Mr. Gentile, “and another Japanese line called Sunny Sports. We’re like a test kitchen, in a way, but when we bring a brand in we like to show the breadth of their line.”

    On Saturday, Pilgrim Surf + Supply, with a co-sponsor, Vans, premiered “The Ductumentary,” a documentary film about Joel Tudor, a decorated competitive surfer, and the Duct Tape Invitational, a competition he founded that was held in Montauk in 2010. With Mr. Tudor in attendance, the film, along with “Kook Tour,” was screened in Amagansett Square.

    Williamsburg, like Montauk, long ago “arrived” in the popular culture. More recently, denizens of the former have discovered the latter. “Our customer there is really similar to someone out here — someone that can appreciate art, craft, something that’s made with a little bit more integrity,” Mr. Gentile said. “Amagansett, having a really strong community base, was a great place for us to come and be a year-round business. We’ve been so pleased with how welcoming it’s been so far. It’s been great.”
