DIALUP USERS R.I.P.
DISCLAIMER: I HAVE ZERO TALENT SKILL OR KNOWHOW IN THE AREA OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND I WILL MAKE THIS PAINFULLY OBVIOUS WITH THE IMAGES I AM ABOUT TO POST. BUT THERES LOTS OF PRETTY AND HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT SHIT IN THEM i was bored today and took some photos from around the area i live in, charleston sc. up first is fort moultrie "Fort Moultrie on Sullivans Island at the entrance to the harbor of Charleston, S.C.; originally called Fort Sullivan. Constructed by Col. William Moultrie, the fort was renamed for him after he repulsed a British naval attack in June, 1776, in one of the most decisive battles of the American Revolution. During the Seminole War, Osceola, a chief, and 200 Seminoles were imprisoned in the fort; Osceola's tomb is there. During the Civil War, Confederates held the fort until the evacuation of Charleston in 1865. It was Charleston's chief harbor defense until 1947, when it was abandoned." this might interest a few of you at best but being there in person is actually rather fascinatingPICTURE NUMBER ONE: an overview of the fort... this is only a tiny portion of it, it was hard to find a decent spot to capture a shot of the whole thing. here you will see some cannons that probably ****ed up a lot of things in their day... the body of water is the mouth of charleston harbor which typically would have a few ships in it... to the left im told is an ocean. ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN you can see fort sumter, which kind of looks like a ship in this picture... fort sumter is yet another spot with historically significant shit which i would have liked to shared with you.... but it is indeed an island and requires a ferry which is expensive and im broke and didnt feel like swimming. ![]() PICTURE NUMBER TWO here is one of the entrances to the fort. without the flash of the camera it is much darker and ominous looking. i might add that this fort is not what youd call a tourist attraction because it just looks scary as shit even from the outside and tourists are much more likely to flock to bright sunshiney areas, being the beach and all. so i was pretty much alone the entire time i was here, but since i have giant balls i chose to continue ![]() PICTURE NUMBER THREE again, without the flash this place is much darker and creepier than it appears in the picture. in each of the rooms you see, there was a display with different things such as the brig, radio room, mess hall etc. they had music that sounded like it was from the 1930s or 40s playing on an old record player that echoed through the hall. your footsteps echoed too and it was just very creepy considering there is NO ONE down there, no tourguides, no maintenence people, nothing. and the doors are heavy as hell and slam loud enough to makr your ears bleed ![]() PICTURE NUMBER FOUR this is my attempt to capture how dark the place is on the inside. without the flash the pictures are pretty much just black, you cant really see much. but this picture will give you somewhat of an idea ![]() PICTURE NUMBER FIVE this is a cannon that someone tried to destroy the sun with, because its too f*cking bright and ruins everyones photos with its glare. ![]() PICTURE NUMBER SIX the harbor. which had no ships today and im not quite sure why. you can see the seagulls chilling by the water. if you take out crackers and try to feed them they turn into bloodthirsty cracker eating devil birds and will flock all over you, leaving you with crumbs and bird shit all over your face feeling as though youve just been raped ![]() PICTURE NUMBER SEVEN just another view from inside the walls of the fort ![]() PICTURE NUMBER EIGHT back on the mainland... this is my new car (2000 celica ) in front of the USS yorktown![]() PICTURE NUMBER NINE an old submarine, probably still a diesel. before they closed the naval base youd see nuclear subs going under the bridge on a regular basis. they even did a demonstration just offshore where they surfaced a sub which shoots it out of the water and them comes splashing down sending out huge waves everywhere... which was one of the coolest things ive ever seen ![]() PICTURE NUMBER TEN inside of the new car... pioneer 5900 with integrated satellite radio (which im hooked on... jason ellis show - weekdays on faction ch 028FTW) i drilled a hole through the back of the dash kit and fed the aux cable from the rear of the head unit through. good way to use ipods and such ![]() PICTURE NUMBER ELEVEN my amp and subs... working on building boxes for each side out of medium density fiberboard for a more factory look. the amps going in the spare tire compartment
