These photos were taken off of our home on Hilton Head Island, SC. The activity is in preparation of some beach regeneration down from us on the northeast point of the island.

Miss Brenda Joyce – Photo for Dec. 3
The story of Steve Tate who has been the subject of the last few posts would not be complete without a photo of the Miss Brenda Joyce. She is a classic shrimp boat and I hope as I am typing this, she is out catching lots of shrimp.

Steve Tate, Delivering One of His Poems – Photo (Video) for Dec. 2
Steve Tate is a poet who performs his own work. I met him while taking pictures of shrimp boats in Brunswick, GA. – please see two previous posts. Steve was preparing the boat he works on to go out shrimping, thus the engine sound and activity in the background. In between work and getting his picture taken, I was entertained by his wonderful, thoughtful and at times colorful verses.
I hope you enjoy this video, my first posted attempt, and pass it on to friends as I intend to do during this holiday season. Steve when not out fishing resides in Bath, NC and is looking for a literary agent. This material is copyrighted.
Captain Henry of the Miss Brenda Joyce – Photo for Dec. 1
Captain Henry was very generous in letting me come aboard and photograph the crew and Miss Brenda Joyce. Henry and Steve Tate from the last post are old friends and enjoy working together.

Steve Tate, Poet – Photo for Nov. 30
I intend to post more of Steve Tate. I met him this morning on a shrimp boat in Brunswick, GA. We visited as he and the crew worked at getting ready to go shrimping. I think Steve is a very good poet, who has a gift for delivering his thoughtful verses and entertained me with several original works.

Red From Stock Island – Photo for Nov. 20
I don’t believe I ever posted a photo of Red on any of my sites. Red is one of my shrimp boat friends on Stock Island in the Florida Keys. When this photo was taken, he was captaining one of the boats of this ever shrinking fleet.

Spinner Camera First Go Around – Photo for Nov. 18
This little camera I think will be a lot of fun and wanted to share a couple of the first photos I took with it.
Beach Spinner No. 1
You have to work a little on technique, watch you hand, your hat and make sure you get it to go all the way around.
Brunswick, GA Shrimp Boats No. 1
This photo of Shrimp Boats in Brunswick, Ga shows actually a little over 360 degrees. Still have to work on composition…
