The Gorillaz is a band I have enjoyed for a long time, as a band they are a group of cartoon characters. On a recent photo walk, I saw a mural to 2-D; the lead singer of The Gorillaz painted on the wall.

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.

Earlier this summer my nephew came down to stay with my parents. He was swimming in the pool and I was playing with toy dinosaurs trying to shoot a Polaroid of a dinosaur scene. Could not get the shot to turn out, and with 1 roid left in the camera I snapped it of him. The look in his face as the colors began to change on the Polaroid where priceless. He is 4, and was amazed.

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.
