A row of shrimp boats rests side by side at the dock, their outriggers raised like folded wings against a heavy gray sky. The water beyond is dark and restless, but here in the harbor the fleet waits calmly, moored and secure.
Developed in the studio with an aged, painterly texture, the image recalls an old photograph from a working waterfront. It was captured in Rockport, Texas, years before Hurricane Harvey made landfall there in 2017 and devastated the town and its harbor, and it now stands as a quiet record of the shrimping fleet in calmer days, a reminder of what shelter means to those who work the open water.
