South Padre Island :: Small Town Texas
Buckle in for a long post, folks. I was particularly inspired while on vacation (novel phenomenon, I am sure) and found some interesting parts of the island to add to my Small Town Texas portfolio. As usual, lines, colors, and juxtapositions dominate the work I did while I was there.
I saw open; I saw closed. I wandered around “success” and “hard work” and also saw “For Sale” signs. The island is mysterious, riding an economic rollercoaster through tumultuous ups and downs. It is a wonder how anyone can make a living there. But at the same time, what it offers to its visitors is much peace, colorful happiness, and damn good shrimp, so much that it cannot be invalidated. Hopefully this photo story will take you there, if you have never been.
