Summer


We are having the first real taste of our normally mild winter and everyone is already discussing how cold it's going to be. We'll see, but all the indicators from slimy trout and black furred possums hint that mother nature is ready to send some hard winter weather to South Texas this year.

All that cold makes me wish for the warm June morning of the Bolivar. After photographing or fishing sunrise somewhere on the Peninsula, my mind usually turned to the shade and good conversation on the dock at Stingaree. Coffee was always fresh and the beer was cold, just be warned you might have to answer the phone or take the trash out if you sit long enough. To me the Stingaree was the epicenter of Bolivar. It just doesn't get any better.





Bolivar "B" Rolls



For several years just before the storm I was on Bolivar every chance I could get some times every weekend for months, I shot a lot of film during this time but was interested in only using one or two images a week, I have been going through the negatives recently and though it would be nice to share a few as I go along eventually I will produce a comprehensive Show/Book/Project but for now I am simply going through my own collection to see what I have. Here is a Walker Evans inspired, shot of Gilchist in the Fall of 2006.
