Roid Week Day 5.2:  Fulton Harbor

Roid Week Day 5.2: Fulton Harbor

Fulton Harbor has a special place in my heart. Which is kind of weird because harbors smell bad, there are rats with wings that come down and take the food write out of your mouth (no joke a seagull bit me once, but I slapped it so I think I win).

However, every summer since I have been alive, my grandparents would take us down to Rockport/Fulton Texas, and one of my favorite things was when we went to a restaurant that was right off the Harbor and I would sit there and watch the boats come in while eating fresh seafood.

At an earlier time in my life, if you would have asked, “Simon, what do you want to be when you grow up?” And I would have proudly responded that I wanted to be the captain of a shrimp boat, so I could catch my bait for fishing, while I spent the rest of my day working on my novels and being a platinum country and western star (both kinds of music, amazing). Sadly, I am the most monotone human being alive, I can barely string two sentences together and; well I guess there is still time to get a shrimp boat.

That actually is not a bad idea, I may need to look into how much a shrimp boat costs.

In the mean time, here is a shot from my Holga on Type 100 film.

So it is not really a light house.

It is actually part of the Texas Maritime Museum in Rockport, Texas. But I have always wanted to see a real lighthouse, but there are not very many on the Texas coast.

Big Tree, located in Rockport, Texas is a mighty big tree. It is one of the oldest live oak trees in the world and has survived numerous storms and the civil war which destroyed the nearby town of Lamar.

In 1969 it was named the Texas State Champion Live Oak. Which honestly, who knew that was an award?

Shot with my Holga on some Type 100 Film.

Be sure to check out some of the amazing and awesome shots in the Roid Week Pool.

This is the first good shot that I have taken with The Impossible Projects Sepia Toned film.

And what a perfect model, I shot this at the toy fair I went to a few weeks back, however I left it in the camera and forgot about it.

And now I have it finally scanned in.

I think I am going to really enjoy this Holgaroid thing.
